Answer:

13cm

Explanation:

the formula for finding the hypotenuse is:

$c=\sqrt{a^(2) +b^(2) }$

C is always the longest side of the triangle. In your question, it would be the side without any measurement.

It doesn't matter which side is A and which side is B, so, suppose that A is 12 and B is 5.

Now just solve for C

C=
$\sqrt{12^(2) + 5^(2) }$

C=
√(144+25)

C=13

Therefore, the missing side is 13 cm
