The value of the length x of the right angle triangle is 25/7

How to find the unknown leg of a right triangle?

Using the Leg Rule for Right Triangles, we can easily say that we have the ratio:

7/5 = 5/x

x = (5 * 5)/7

x = 25/7

Thus, we conclude that the value of the length x of the right angle triangle is 25/7
