\huge\boxed{\sqrt5}

To find the value of
x, we'll use the Pythagorean theorem.

The following formula applies, with the lengths of the sides with the right angle being
a and
b, and the hypotenuse being
c:


a^2+b^2=c^2

Substitute the values in.


x^2+(√(11))^2=4^2

Square the numbers as possible.


x^2+11=16

Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation.


x^2=5

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for
x.


x=\sqrt5
