Step-by-step explanation

From the question, we can see that the triangle is a right angled triangle. Hence, it obeys the law of Pythagoras, which is the Pythagorean theorem.

This formula is defined as:

It states that the length of the square of the hypotenuse(longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

This implies that;


\begin{gathered} 13^2=11^2+x^2 \\ x^2=13^2-11^2 \\ x^2=169-121 \\ x^2=48 \\ x=\sqrt[]{48} \\ x=6.9 \end{gathered}

Answer: 6.9
