Answer:

Well since the question ask for what in the green box, its 193

193 goes in the green box

If you solve everything it would be 13.89 (rounded to the nearest hundredths)

Explanation:

So missing side of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theroum which is a^2+b^2=c^2

In this case we have the two legs which are a and b, we’re trying to find hypotnuse, “c”.

7^2+12^2=c^2

49+144=c^2

193= c^2

You basically do √193

which is the answer needed for this situation

Final answer: is 193 goes into the green box
