Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{125}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem since you have a right triangle [tex]15^{2}[/tex] = [tex]10^{2} + x^{2}[/tex]

225 = 100 + [tex]x^{2}[/tex] so x = [tex]\sqrt{125}[/tex]

Answer:

x = 5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

x² + 10² = 15²

x² + 100 = 225 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

x² = 125 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = [tex]\sqrt{125}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25(5)}[/tex] = 5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] ← in simplest radical form
