Answer:

option (c)

4√34

Explanation:

Given in the question is a right angle triangle

height of triangle = 20 cm

base of triangle = 12 cm

To find the length of missing side of the triangle we will use pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse² = height² + base²

hypotenuse² = 20² + 12²

hypotenuse² = 400 + 144

hypotenuse² = 544

take square root on both sides

√hypotenuse² = √544

hypotenuse = 4√34 cm

Hence, the length of missing side of the triangle is4√34 cm
