Given: hypotenuse = 25

Bottom leg, base = 13

Perpendicular, x = ?

We know,

(hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (Perpendicular)²

Now, putting values in formula, we get

(25)² = (13)² + (x)²

225 = 169 + (x)²

Transposing 169 to other side, we get

(x)² = 225 - 169

(x)² = 49

taking square root of both sides, we get

x = 7

Hence, value of x is 7
