Answer:

7 sqrt(2) = c

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

7^2 + 7^2 = x^2

49+49 = c^2

98 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(98) = sqrt(c^2)

sqrt(49*2) = c

7 sqrt(2) = c
