Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\[a ^{2}+ b^2=c^2\]

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

a and b are the two legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

In the question, x is c. So you fill in the values you know into the equation to find the answer.

@kiamousekia

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Plug in 9 and 12 into the equation as a and b. Can you do that?
