Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of HP, we must use the Pythagorean Theorem.

This theorem helps us solve for the sides of any right triangle.

The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is:


a^(2)+ b^(2) = c^(2), in which a and b are the legs, while c is the hypotenuse.

Let's plug in our values into the equation to find the length of HP.

We will use the variable x to represent HP.


9^(2)+ 12^(2) = x^(2) \\\\\\Square.the.9.and.the.12.\\\\\\81 + 144 = x^2\\\\\\Add.\\\\\\225 = x^2\\\\\\Square.both.sides.\\\\\\√(225) = √(x^2) \\\\\\15 = x = HP

So, we get our answer to be 15.

The length of HP is 15.
