Answer:

D. 65

Explanation:

The question lacks the appropriate diagram. Find the diagram attached.

The triangle is a right angled triangle that is made of of three sides namely the opposite, the adjacent and the hypotenuse (the longest side). According to the diagram, the longest side is the side with length x. To get the side length x, we will use the Pythagoras theorem as shown;

hyp² = opp²+adj²

hyp² = 33²+56²

x² = 1089+3136

x² = 4225

take the square root of both sides

√x² = √4225

x = 65

Hence the unknown side length x is 65
