B. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the measure of side x in each triangle. 1. 12 2. 3. * 5 15 3 17
Answer (1)
Answer:To find the measure of side x in each triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to identify the right triangles and the known sides. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides: \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\). For each triangle:1. If given sides are 12 and an unknown x, and assuming 12 is one leg and x is the other leg with a hypotenuse provided or to be found, apply \(x^2 + 12^2 = c^2\).2. For sides 3 and 5 with an unknown side, determine whether 5 is the hypotenuse or a leg, then apply \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) accordingly.3. For sides 15 and 17, identify if 17 is the hypotenuse; then use \(x^2 + 15^2 = 17^2\) to solve for x.Please provide specific details about which sides are known and which side is x for precise calculations.Step-by-step explanation:
