Answer:
I am guessing that a and c aren't squared yet, so the answer will be:
Step-by-step explanation:
By using Pythagorean theorem, you will be able to find x, which could possibly be b.
Pythagorean Theorem formula: [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]
But in this case we are trying to find [tex]b^{2}[/tex], possibly x, so the formula would be:
[tex]a^{2} - c^{2} = b^{2}[/tex]
(31)[tex].^{2}[/tex] - (24)
961 - 576 = [tex]b^{2}[/tex]
[tex]b^{2}[/tex] = 385
[tex]\sqrt{b^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{385}[/tex]
b = 19.6
(COULD BE WRONG, SINCE I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE IS A PICTURE OR NOT TO BE MORE ACCURATE)
