Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we shall give a separate diagram which will help us to further understand the question.

Please see attached photo for further details.

To find the value of x we shall use the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

x is the longest side Therefore,

x² = 12² + 5²

x² = 144 + 25

x² = 169

Take the square root of both side

x = √169

x = 13

Therefore, the value of x 13.
