Question

solve for x
one side is 12
the bottom is 5
x represents the hypotenuse

Answer 1

To solve for x (the hypotenuse), we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the two sides of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse. In this case, with one side being 12 and the other side being 5, we have:

12^2 + 5^2 = x^2
144 + 25 = x^2
169 = x^2

Now, we take the square root of both sides to solve for x:

x = √169
x = 13

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse (x) is 13.

Answer 2

solve for x
x is the one leg
11 is the bottom
61 is the hypotenuse

Answer 3

To solve for x (the leg), we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the two legs of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse. In this case, with one leg being x, the other leg being 11, and the hypotenuse being 61, we have:

x^2 + 11^2 = 61^2
x^2 + 121 = 3721
x^2 = 3721 - 121
x^2 = 3600

Now, we take the square root of both sides to solve for x:

x = √3600
x = 60

Therefore, the length of the leg (x) is 60.
