Find the missing length indicated​

c = 175

Step-by-step explanation:

When the height of a right triangle is shown this way (at right angles with the hypotenuse, It can be found by using the way the hypotenuse is broken up. The following proportion works.

576/x = x / 49          Cross multiply

x^2 = 576 * 49

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(576*49)

x = 24 * 7

x = 168

But that's not what you want (although it is close).

What you want is the hypotenuse to the small lower triangle

c = ?

a = 49

b = 168

c^2 =  49^2 + 168^2

c^2 = 2401 + 28224

c^2 = 30625

c = sqrt(30625)

c = 175

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
