Question

YES PLS HELP ME WITH MY GEOMETRY

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find this: a² + b² = c²

Following that, c² is always the hypotenuse. All we have to do is plug in the variables and solve:

Step 1: Replace variables

12²+16² = c²

Step 2: Solve

144+256 = c²

c² = 400

√400 = √c²

c = 20

And you get x = 20 as your final answer!
