Answer 1

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The right side is a right triangle

The base is 1/2 of the bottom or 5

The height is x and the hypotenuse is 13

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

5^2 +x^2=13^2

25+x^2 = 169

Subtract 25 from each side

25-25+x^2 = 169-26

x^2 =144

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(144)

x= 12
