Answer:

sqrt(13) =x

Explanation:

We have 2 right triangles, one on the right and one on the left

The base is 1/2 of 4 or 2 and the height is 3

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 3^2 = x^2

4+9 = x^2

13 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(13) =x
