Answer:

= 20

Explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

hypotenuse - longest side of the triangle orthe side where the right angle faces

opposite - the side of the triangle in which the given angle faces

adjacent - the other side of the triangle which isn't the opposite or hypotenuse

hyp² = 12² + 16²

hyp² = 144 + 256

hyp² = 400

hyp = √400

hyp = 20
