Answer:

  • The value of x is 12 units.

Explanation:

We know that:

  • Formula: h² = a² + b²

Let's solve using Pythagoras theorem.

  • => 13² = 5² + x²
  • => 169 = 25 + x²
  • => 169 - 25 = x²
  • => 144 = x²
  • => √x² = √144
  • => x = √144
  • => x = 12

Hence, the value of x is 12 units.
