What's the value of x to the nearest tenth? Question 12 options: A) 7.9 B) 9.7 C) 5.9 D) 8.1

Answer:
The value is 9.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem. [tex]a^{2} + b^{2}= c^{2}[/tex]
a=7 b=x c=12
[tex]7^{2} + x^{2}= 12^{2}[/tex]
[tex]49+x^{2} =144[/tex]
[tex]144-49=95[/tex]
[tex]x^{2} =95[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{ x^{2}} =\sqrt{95}[/tex]
x=9.74679434481
x=9.7
