Answer:

x=
√(41\\)

Explanation:

To do this we need to use the pythagorean theorem.

This theorem states that the a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are sides of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

This said we can set up the following expression:

4^2+5^2=c^2

Simplify.

16+25=c^2

41=c^2

c=
√(41\\)

c is what we named x, so x=
√(41\\)
