Answer:
[tex]x =12.08\ in[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem says that the sum of the side adjacent to the square and side opposite to the square, in a right triangle, is equal to the hypotenuse squared.
This is:
[tex]c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2[/tex]
[tex]x ^ 2 = 11 ^ 2 + 5 ^ 2[/tex]
Now we solve the equation for the variable x
[tex]x=\sqrt{11^2 +5^2}\\\\x =12.08\ in[/tex]
Finally the hypotenuse is 12.08 in
