The triangle shown must be a right triangle if x= in a) 8 b) 12 c) 16 d) 144

The value of x is 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the right angled triangle having sides 5 in , 13 in and x in

We have to find the value of x.

By applying Pythagoras theorem, we get

⇒

⇒  

⇒   ⇒ x=12 in

Hence, length of base is x in i.e 12 in

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent
