Answer:

x = 85

Explanation:

Its a Pythagorean theorem question, being a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

and knowing that 168 is the entire base we would divide by 2 to get 84 as b.

The new equation would be 13^2 + 84^2 = c^2

Then squaring them to get 169 + 7056 = c^2

Then add them together and square root them
√(x) 7225 = c

The square root is 85 making it equal x.
