Question

Ms green tells you that a right triangle has hypotenuse of 13 and a leg of 5. She asks you to find the other leg of triangle. What is your answer

Answer 1

The answer is 12

Explanation:

You should you the Pythogarus theorem for this

`13 {}^(2) = x { }^(2) + 5 {}^(2) \\ x { }^(2) = 13 {}^(2) - 5 {}^(2) \\ x {}^(2) = 169 - 25 \\ x {}^(2) = 144 \\x = √(144 ) \\ x = 12`

Hope this helps!
