Question

The lives of a right triangle measure 5 cm and 12 CM what is the length of the hypotenuse​

Answer 1

`\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=√(a^2+b^2) \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{5}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{12}\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=√(5^2+12^2)\implies c=√(169)\implies c=13`
