Answer:

1.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

6.6^2 + x^2 = 6.8^2

43.56+x^2=46.24

Subtract 43.56 from each side

x^2 = 46.24-43.56

x^2 =2.68

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(2.68)

x =1.637080554

To 3 significant digits

x = 1.64

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

       x = 1.637 mm

Pythagorean theorem:

        We can use Pythagorean theorem, to find the unknown side for a right angled triangle.

The side opposite to 90 is the longest side and it is the hypotenuse.

Base² + altitude² = hypotenuse²

 x²     + 6.6²        = 6.8²

      x²  +  43.56  = 46.24

                     x²   = 46.24 - 43.56

                    x²    = 2.68

                      x   = √2.68

                      [tex]\sf \boxed{\bf x = 1.637 \ mm }[/tex]
