Question

Find the missing side length of the right triangle.

Answer 1

I think the answer is x=15

Answer 2

Answer: 15 units

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we will use the Pythagorean theorem. a and b are the legs, c id the hypotenuse. Here, we need to solve for the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

9² + 12² = c²

81 + 144 = c²

225 = c²

`√(225)` = c

15 = c
