Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

→ State Pythagoras theorem

a² + b² = c²

→ Rearrange to make b the subject

b² = c² - a²

→ Square root everything

b = √c² - a²

→ Substitute in the numbers

b = √13² - 5²

→ Simplify

b = 12

  • H=13
  • P=5

Using pythagorean theorem


\\ \sf\longmapsto B^2=H^2-P^2


\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2=13^2-5^2


\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2=169-25


\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2=144


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=√(144)


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=12
