x is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. To find it, use the formula for hypotenuse:


h^2=a^2+b^2

Where:

h = hypotenuse.

a and b = sides.

In this exercise,

h = x.

a = 8.

b = 3.

So, substituting the values:


x^2=8^2+13^{2^{}}

And solving the operations:


\begin{gathered} x^2=64+169 \\ x^2=233 \end{gathered}

And taking the root from both sides.


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x^2}=\sqrt[]{233} \\ x=15.3 \end{gathered}
