Question

NEED HELP ASAP


What is the value of x? Please explain.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

x=5

Explanation:

We can solve this using the Pythagorean theorem

`13^2-12^2=x^2\\\\x=√(169-144) \\\\x=√(25) \\\\x=5`
