If you have a hypotenuse that measures 13 inches, what do the side lengths need to be to create a right

triangle?

13 inches and 1 inch
12 inches and 10 inchas
12 inches and 5 inches
6 inches and 5 inches

Answer 1

Top answer is correct

Answer 2

12 and 5 inches since squaring them would equal 144+25, which is 169, and ✓169=13. the two legs have to equal the hypotenuse when combined to be a right triangle.
