Answer:

x = 17

Explanation:

use Pythagoras

It's going to be numbers in the same set.

You will find it on exams often.

I don't know if you will understand me Because I am not good at English

okay, for examples

5, 12 and 13

6, 8 and 10

8, 15 and 17

15, 20 and 25

like this

- first number and second number (all of the line) are base or attitude (they can Switch)

- third number (last one that i wrote all of the line) is a Hypotenuse

You will notice that

hypotenuse² = base² + attitude ²

If you have any questions, just ask me, I'll try to use my English to explain it to you.

hope it helps ☺️
