Answer:
x = 11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
using pythagoras theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 8^2 = 14^2
x^2 + 64 = 196
x^2 = 196 - 64
x^2 = 132
x = [tex]\sqrt{132}[/tex]
x = [tex]2\sqrt{33}[/tex]
11.5
Use the pythagorean theorem.
8^2 + b^2 = 14^2
64 + b^2 = 196
-64 -64
(radical) b^2 = (radical) 132
b = 11.5
