Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle; so you can use the Pythagorean Theorem ([tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]), where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
You get: [tex]5^2 + 12^2 = c^2[/tex]
Simplify the expression: [tex]25 + 144 = c^2[/tex]
Combine like terms: [tex]169 = c^2[/tex]
Take the square root of both sides: [tex]\sqrt{169} = \sqrt{c^2}[/tex]
Evaluate: 13 = c
So the answer is letter c ... x = 13
