Answer 1

Ok so

for a right triangle with legs legnth a and b and hypotonuse c
a^2+b^2=c^2
remember
the hypotonuse is the side oposite the right angle

you have
13 and 17 and x
17=hypotonuse
13 ad x are legs
13^2+x^2=17^2
169+x^2=289
minus 169 boh sides
x^2=120
sqrt both sides
x=2√30
aprox
10.9545 units


second one
legs are 5x and x
hypotonsue is 20
(5x)^2+x^2=20^2
25x^2+x^2=400
26x^2=400
divide both sides by 26
x^2=(400/26)
sqrt both sides
x=20/(√26)
aprox
x=3.92232 units
times 5 to see other leg
19.616 units
