Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given right triangle,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

From the picture attached,

Length of Hypotenuse = 13

Length of leg 1 = 5

Length of leg 2 = x

By substituting these values in the formula,

(13)² = 5² + x²

169 = 25 + x²

169 - 25 = x²

144 = x²

(12)² = x²

x = 12
