Problem

For the following right triangle, find the side length $x$. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Solution

Step 1 :By similarity, we know that \(\frac{a}{x} = \frac{b}{c}\), so therefore \(x = \frac{ac}{b}\).

Step 2 :Substitute the given values into the equation, we get \(x = \frac{ac}{b}\).

Step 3 :Calculate the value of \(x\) to get the final result.

Step 4 :Check the result to make sure it meets the requirements of the problem.
