Answer: x = 37
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this:
[tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]
'a' and 'b' in the equation is referring to the legs of the right triangle, or the sides adjacent to the hypotenuse (which is the side opposite the right angle)
plug in the legs into the equation and you get :
[tex]12^{2} + 35^{2} = x^{2}[/tex]
now to solve that we just square 12 and 35 and you get
144 + 1225 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
1369 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
x = [tex]\sqrt{1369}[/tex]
x= 37
