If y = 2.5 cm and z = 6.5 cm, what is the length of x?
a. 8 cm
b. 3 cm
c. 6 cm
d. 5 cm

The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

In this case, 'a' would be 'x' and 'b' would be 'y', leaving 'c' to be 'z'.

x^2 + y^2 = z^2

x^2 + (2.5)^2 = (6.5)^2

x^2 + 6.25 = 42.25

Subtract 6.25 from both sides

x^2 = 36

Take the square root of both sides

x = 6 cm

i know the answer is 3

step-by-step explanation:

a. 74 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

because the lines through the side and the box in the corners shows that these are congruent triangles and since they are mirrored the 37 degrees is also mirrored so the answer is 37 * 2 which is 74.
