Answer:
x = 20
Explanations:
The triangle shown is a right angled triangle
The longest side of the triangle is called the hypotenuse
The side facing the angle is called the opposite
The third side is the adjacent
In this triangle:
Hypotenuse = 52
Opposite = 48
Adjacent = x
Using the Pythagora's theorem
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Hypotenuse}^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2 \\ 52^2=48^2+x^2 \\ 2704\text{ = }2304+x^2 \\ x^2=\text{ 2704 - 2304} \\ x^2=\text{ 400} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{400} \\ x\text{ = 20} \end{gathered}[/tex]
