Find the missing length indicated​

x = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the leg rule to find the value of x.

Leg rule is given as:

Hypotenuse/leg 1 = leg 1/part 1

Hypotenuse = 400

Leg 1 = x

Part 1 = 144

Plug in the known values into the formula

400/x = x/144

Cross multiply

x*x = 144*400

x² = 57,600

Take the square root of both sides

√x² = √57,600

x = 240

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

47 - 90 = 43

43 - 180 = x

x = 137
