Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle

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

x^2 + 12^2 = (x+2)^2

FOIL

x^2+144=x^2+4x+4

Subtract x^2 from each side

144= 4x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

140 = 4x

Divide by 4

35 =x

7.095*2.55 = 18.09225

Then round to the nearest tenth to get 18.1

Why the nearest tenth? Because we want the answer to have 3 sig figs. This is the smallest number of sig figs between the two original numbers (7.095 and 2.55).
