I really just am looking for just the answer, since I know how to solve this equation, I just don’t have my calculator913417

Answer 1

We are given a right triangle with legs measuring 12 and 5 units long.

We are tasked to find the length of its hypotenuse.

To solve this, we will be using the Pythagorean Theorem:

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Substituting the given values, we get:

`\begin{gathered} 12^2+5^2=c^2 \\ 144+25=c^2 \\ 169=c^2 \\ 13=c \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is 13.
