Answer:

x = 6.5 units

Explanation:

The 2 given squares are the on the legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse x

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 legs , then

x² = 13 + 29.25 = 42.25 ( take square root of both sides )

x =
√(42.25) = 6.5 units
