Answer:

b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

You can identify that 1212 is the hypotenuse, as it is opposite to the right angle.

So:

12² + b² = (12√2)²

144 + b² = [(12√2) (12√2)]

144 + b² = (12 × √2 × 12 × √2)

144 + b² = (144 × 2)

144 + b² = 288

b² = 144

√b² = √144

b = 12

It’s 6 because if you divide 12 divided by 2 that’s 6 and to check it multiply 6x2=12
