Answer 1

5m

Explanation:

set it up

`12^(2)`+
`a^(2)`=
`13^(2)`

do what you know

equation becomes: 144+
`a^(2)`=169

subtract both sides by 144

equation becomes
`a{2}`=25

square root both sides

equation becomes: a=5

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

To find the missing leg, we need to use a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Let's call the missing leg a, and then substitute the numbers the other numbers

a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

Simplify

a^2 + 144 = 169

To solve, subtract 144 from both sides (169-144)

a^2 = 25

This means that a squared is 25; to find a, we need to find the square root of 25.

a = 5

Your answer is 5.
