Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is
x² + 6² = ([tex]\sqrt{117}[/tex] )²
x² + 36 = 117 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 81 ( take square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{81}[/tex] = 9
