Which value could be the length of the missing side of the triangle? (the side of the triangle has 5, the bottom has a 12 and the top has a X)
PLZ I NEED HELP FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not enough information.
There has be an angle given.
What the angle 90°, as I supect?
then
h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 169
h = 13
(you should remember from now on that the 5-12-13 triangle is right-angled, as well as the most-famous 3-4-5 triangle)
To determine the length of the missing side (X) of the triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. According to the theorem, in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.
In this case, the side with length 5 is one of the legs, the side with length 12 is the other leg, and the missing side (X) is the hypotenuse.
To find the value of X, you can solve the equation:
5^2 + 12^2 = X^2
25 + 144 = X^2
169 = X^2
Taking the square root of both sides gives:
X = √169
X = 13
So, the missing side (X) has a length of 13.
