Answer:

9.63

Explanation:

Since the ratio of the length of the horizontal leg to the length of the vertical length is 12:1, then the horizontal leg must be 12 × 0.8 m = 9.6 m.

We have a right triangle with legs of lengths 0.8 m and 9.6 m.

We can find the length of the hypotenuse by using the Pythagoras theorem.

a² + b² = c²

(0.8 m)² + (9.6 m)² = c²

c² = 92.8 m²

c = 9.63 m

Answer: 9.63
