Answer:

x = 5

using Pythagoras Theorem:

  • a² + b² = c²
  • x² + 12² = 13²
  • x² = 169 - 144
  • x² = 25
  • x = √25
  • x = 5

Apply Pythagorean theorem

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x^2=13^2-12^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x^2=169-144[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x^2=25[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=5[/tex]
