Which equation could be used to find the value of x in the rectangle shown?

Molly wants to put a fence around an area. The fence will follow the diagram of the triangle shown below. You may need to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing parts.

• 28 ft

• 38 ft

• 43 ft

• 49 ft

What is the correct set-up?

• a² - 4² = 4.1²

• a² + 4² = 4.1²

• 4.1² + 4² = c²

• 4.1² - 4² = c²
