Answer:
x = 6.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 given squares are the on the legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse x
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 legs , then
x² = 13 + 29.25 = 42.25 ( take square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{42.25}[/tex] = 6.5 units
