<h3>
Answer: C) x = 13</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
We have a right triangle with legs a = 5 and b = 12. The hypotenuse is c = x which is unknown for now.
Use the pythagorean theorem to find x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = x^2
25 + 144 = x^2
169 = x^2
x^2 = 169
x = sqrt(169) .... apply the square root to both sides
x = 13
1= 15
2= 12
Hope this helps
Are you trying to solve for c? if so c=8
The garden has four quarters. three quarters are planted with basil. one quarter is planted with sage. The strips represent quarters. So that means that three strips represent three quarters. Well one strip represents one quarter.
