Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{253}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to use the Pythagorean Theorem...

which is [tex]a^{2} + b^2 = c^2[/tex]

1. Note that c is always the hypotnuse (the longest side of the triangle)

  • c = 17

2. Note that a and b represent both legs of the triangle

  • a = 6

3. Find b using pythagorean theorem (x = b)

[tex]6^2 + b^2 = 17^2\\36 + b^2 = 289\\b^2 = 253\\b=\sqrt{253} \\[/tex]

Since b is the missing side x, then [tex]x = \sqrt{253}[/tex]
