Question

Find the missing side of this right

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First start with the blank equation

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

Plug in the legs and hypotenuse. Remember c squared is always the hypotenuse.

$5^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2}$

Then solve

25 + 144 = $c^{2}$

169 =$c^{2}$

$\sqrt{169} = \sqrt{c^{2} }$

c = 13
