Answer:
X = 20.6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem: [tex]A^{2} =B^{2} +C^{2}[/tex]
A = 41.2 in, while B = 35.7 in and we are solving for C.
[tex]41.2^{2} = 35.7^{2} +C^{2}[/tex]
[tex]1697.44 = 1274.49 + C^{2}[/tex]
Now solve for C
[tex]422.95 = C^{2}[/tex]
Take the square root
[tex]20.5657482237 = C[/tex]
