Answer 1

X=20 cause pythagorean theorem

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in given values if a = 12, b = 16, and c = x (x is hypotenuse)

12^2 + 16^2 = x^2

(12*12) + (16*16) = x^2

144 + 256 = x^2

400 = x^2

Take square root of both sides to solve for x

sqrt(400) = sqrt(x^2)

20 = x or x = 20
