Answer:

x = 2.3

Explanation:

Since we know all three sides, what we do here is multiply side a & b's lengths together and divide by the hypotenuse. (a + b)/c

(2.5 * 6)/6.5

Step 1: Multiply 2.5 by 6 to get 15.

15/6.5

Step 2: Convert 6.5 into a whole number by multiplying it by 10. Make sure to do that to the 15 as well.

150/65

Step 3: 150/65 simplifies to 30/13 (GCF: 5).

30/13

Step 4: 30/13 becomes 2 4/13.

2 4/13

Step 5: 2 4/13 rounds to 2.3

2.3 is the value of x.
