Answer:

[tex]x=13[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Magnitude 1 [tex]M_1=5[/tex]

Magnitude 1 [tex]M_2=12[/tex]

Generally the Pythagoras equation for the magnitudes is mathematically given as

[tex]\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{M_1^2 +M_2^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{5^2 +12^2}[/tex]

[tex]x=13[/tex]

Therefore resultant magnitude is

[tex]x=13[/tex]
