Use the picture below to find the length of x. round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

6.71

Work Shown:

The longest horizontal portion of length 6 breaks up into two equal pieces of length 3 each. Focus on the smaller right triangle on the right hand side. This right triangle has legs of 3 and 6. The hypotenuse is x.

Use the pythagorean theorem with a = 3, b = 6, c = x to find the value of x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 6^2 = x^2

9 + 36 = x^2

45 = x^2

x^2 = 45

x = sqrt(45)

x = 6.7082039

x = 6.71
