Question

NEED HELP ASAP


What is the value of x? Please explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using the Pythagorean theorem

$13^2-12^2=x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{169-144} \\\\x=\sqrt{25} \\\\x=5$

Answer 2

It should be 5. You would need to use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to find the length of the missing side. So it would be x^2 + 144=169, which leads to 169-144 = 25. Then you would need to get the square root of 25, which is 5. I hope that helps.
