Answer:


\boxed{\tt x=√(89) }

Explanation:

We'll use the Pythagorean Theorem

Equation:
\tt a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are the lengths of the two legs of triangle, and c is the hypotenuse.


  • \tt a=5

  • \tt b=8

  • \tt c=x

*A and b can be switched because they are legs*


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

Plug in the side lengths:


\tt 5^2+8^2=x^2

Evaluate 5^2 and 8^2:


\tt 25+64=x^2

Add 25 and 64 = 89


\tt 89=x^2

Now, take the square root of each side:


\tt x=√(89)
