Pythagorean Theorem.
First off, what is 9^2 and what is 12^2? @Gokuporter
9^2 is 18 12^2 is 24
And your answer is incorrect. :P
@Gokuporter 9^2 isn't 9 x 2. 12^2 isn't 12 x 2. 9^2 is multiplying 9 to itself 2 times. So that would be 9 x 9, and 12^2 would be 12 x 12. So what are your answers?
81 and 144
Yes, so can you add those?
Actually we can set up a proportion: \(\dfrac{5}{4} = \dfrac{x}{12}\) Can you cross multiply?
We're already 80% done with this, so we'll just finish up.
@Gokuporter Can you add 81 + 144?
15
What? Try again.
Cross multiplying will give us: \(4 \cdot x = 4x\) \(5 \cdot 12 = 60\) Then we have: \(4x = 60\) \(x = 15~\color{lime} \checkmark\)

Nice work @Gokuporter
@iGreen Please don't give direct answers.

That's not a direct answer, it's called confirming his answer.
Why do you think the checkmark is there?
@ganeshie8
Because It's the final answer.
Go ahead, he's not gonna do anything..because it's not a direct answer.
