Answer:

x is 15.0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use pythagorus theorum to find the missing side of the triangle.

a² = b² + c²

a² is the longest side of the triangle, so a= 8.

b² (or you can even take c²) is one of the two sides, so b= 3

We have to find  c². So make c² the subject of the equation.

c² = a² - b²

c² = 8² - 3²

c² = 64 - 8

c² = 56

∴ c = [tex]\sqrt{56}[/tex] = 7.48 (in 2 decimal place / 3 significant figures)

Now we can assume that c is half of x.

So x = 7.48 + 7.48 = 14.96

∴ x = 15.0 (to the nearest tenth).
