Answer:
x = 51
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
x² = 45² + 24² = 2025 + 576 = 2601 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{2601}[/tex] = 51
x = 51.
The triple you require is 17-15-8
We have x-45-24
- that is three times each number in the triple.
So x = 3*17 = 51.
