\\ \large \rm{↠Given \: triangle \: is \: right \: angled \: triangle .}
\\\rm{Pythagorean \: Theorem \: states \: that} \\ \\ \large \rm{↠Hypotenuse = \sqrt {Altitude^(2) + Base ^(2) } }


\blue{\rule{15mm}{3.9pt}} \red{\rule18mm3.5pt} \gray{ \rule18mm3.5pt}

Here,

  • Hypotenuse = AC ( x )
  • Altitude = AB ( 12 )
  • Base = BC ( 9 )


\blue{\rule{15mm}{3.9pt}} \red{\rule18mm3.5pt} \gray{ \rule18mm3.5pt}


\rm{↠Substituting \: values }


\large\rm{↠AC= \sqrt {AB^(2) + BC ^(2) } } \\ \\ \large\rm{↠x = \sqrt{12 ^(2) + 9 ^(2) } } \\ \\ \large\rm{↠x = √(144 + 81) } \\ \\ \large\rm{↠x = √(225) } \\ \\ \large\rm{↠x =15 }

Option C ✓


\underline{\rule{100mm}{3.2pt}}
