Question

Help me out here I’m struggling

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You must use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve.

Since a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in right triangles, you must find the value of a that will make c and b appear true.

You have already:

a^2 + 5^2 = 13^2

a^2 + 25 = 169

a^2 = 144

The only number that when squared is 144, is 12.

x = 12

Answer 2

X = 12
