8.94

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the missing side, we will use the pythagoras theorem as shown;

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

From the diagram;

Let;

Hypotenuse = 12

Opposite = 8

Substitute

12^2 = 8^2 + x^2

144 = 64 + x^2

x^2 = 12^2 - 8^2

x^2 = 144 - 64

x^2 = 80

x = √80

x = 8.94

Hence the value of x is 8.94
