Answer:


x = 24

Explanation:

When given a right triangle, one can apply the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states;


a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where (
a) and (
b) are legs or the sides adjacent to the right angle, and (
c) is the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle.

Substitute the given value, and solve for the missing value;


7^2 + x^2 = 25^2\\

Simplify,


49 + x^2 = 625

Inverse operations,


49 + x^2 = 625\\-49\\\\x^2 = 576\\\sqrt{}\\\\x = 24
