Answer:

10

Explanation:

We will first take a right triangle and we will apply the pythagorean theorem to it. First, the base of the right triangle will be 12/2 which is 6; then, we will just use the theorem.

a^2+b^2 = c^2 (pythagorean theorem)

8^2+6^2 = c^2

100 = c^2

c = 10 because the square root of 100 is 10
