Answer:
x = 15
[x = 15.0]
Step-by-step explanation:
we can find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem
[note: "c" is what they are referring to as "x" here]
a² + b² = c²
a : 12
b : 9
[c = hypotenuse/x/unknown side]
12² + 9² = c²
144 + 81 = c²
225 = c²
√225 = √c²
15 = c
{x = 15.0}
