Final Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
we'll be using the pythagorean theorem method, in this triangle the missing letter is a.
formula: [tex]a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}[/tex]
a = x
b = 21
c = 29
a = [tex]\sqrt{29^2-21^2}[/tex]
a = [tex]\sqrt{841-441}[/tex] (note: 29² = 29 × 29 = 841 and 21² = 21 × 21 = 441)
a = [tex]\sqrt{400}[/tex]
a = 20
x = 20
