Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem stats a^2+b^2=c^2. We are already given the values of the two legs of the triangle so we need to solve for the length of the hypotenuse (the longest part of the triangle). To do so, you put in 3 and 4 as a and b so you get 3^2+4^2=c^2. After squaring both numbers you get 16+9=c^2. Then you add 16 and 9 to get 25=c^2. To get rid of the power of 2, we square root both sides to get rid of the exponent. Since 25 is a perfect square, you get c=5 which means that the x value eqals 5.
