EXPLANATION

Given the following triangle:

In order to find the x-value, we need to apply the Pythagorean relationship as follows:


x^2=11^2+13^2=121+169=290

Isolating x:


x=\sqrt[]{290}=17.02938637

Rounding to the nearest hundreth:

x= 17.03

find length of x. one side equals 11 and other side equals 13 of a right triangle-example-1
