Answer:b=5
Step-by-step explanation:the formular for pythagoras theory is
C^2=a^2+b^2
13^2=12^2+b^2
169=144+b^2
Collect like terms
169-144=b^2
b^2=25
Take the the square root of both sides
b=square root of 25
b=5
Hey there!
So, if

, this would mean that we would do

and from this, we would get 8.
We will then need to find what is

.


=

So, the equation would really look like
. . .
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 8*(7)-2*4 = 48 \\ \\ x=\boxed{7}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%208%2A%287%29-2%2A4%20%3D%2048%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20x%3D%5Cboxed%7B7%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Hope this helps.
