Explanation:

Step 1: Define

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing side.

Step 2: Identify Variables

Leg a = 5

Leg b = 8

Hypotenuse c = x

Step 3: Solve for x

  1. Substitute: 5² + 8² = x²
  2. Exponents: 25 + 64 = x²
  3. Add: 89 = x²
  4. Isolate x: √89 = x
  5. Rewrite: x = √89
