Answer 1

Answer:

13.9 (if x is the Hypotenuse)

Step-by-step explanation:

which one is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle) ?

because that determines the calculation.

if x is the Hypotenuse then Pythagoras looks like this

x² = 7² + 12² = 49 + 144 = 193

x = sqrt(193) = 13.9

if 12 is the Hypotenuse, then it looks like this

12² = 7² + x²

144 = 49 + x²

95 = x²

x = sqrt(95) = 9.75
