Answer:


\boxed{\sf B)\: x=√(17)}

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is
\tt a^2+b^2=c^2

* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*

(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).

a= x, b=8, c=9


\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

Let's Plug in the side lengths:


\sf x^2+8^2=9^2

Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:


\sf x^2+64=81

Subtract 64 from both sides:


\sf x^2+64-64=81-64


\sf x^2=17

Take the square root of both sides:


\sf x=√(17)
