Find the missing side of this right

Answer:
The number 80 should go in the green box
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation you will need to use the pythagorean theorem. Which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Also you will need to know where the legs and hypotenuse of the triangle are. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle. So that would be the side marked 12. Then the other two sides are legs.
To solve for x you need to input your known numbers into the pythagorean theorem and solve. To know where the numbers go, a and b of the equation are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. I solved the equation for you in the photo I inserted.
Hope that helped you!
