Question

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find

Answer 1

Answer: 13cm I think

Explanation:

Answer 2

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
