Detailed Solution

Given that,
The altitude of a right triangle is 7 cm   less than the base x   and the hypotenuse is 13 cm  .
According to question,
base=x altitude=x7 hypotenuse=13   The Pythagorus theorem is given as,
Bas e 2 +Perpendicula r 2 =Hypotenus e 2   By using Pythagoras theorem,
x 2 + x7 2 = 13 2  
Hence, option 2 is correct.
