Answer:
x = 48cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem of right triangles to solve
[tex]x^{2} + y^{2} = w^{2}[/tex]
Substitute in given values
[tex]x^{2} + 55^{2} = 73^{2}[/tex]
Solve exponents
[tex]x^{2} + 3,025 = 5,329[/tex]
Subtract 3,025 from both sides of the equation
[tex]x^{2} = 2,304[/tex]
x = 48 cm
Hope this helps :)
