To find the value of x, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
So in this case, we have:
7^2 + 9^2 = x^2
49 + 81 = x^2
130 = x^2
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
x ≈ √130
x ≈ 11.4
Therefore, the value of x is approximately 11.4.
