Answer:

answer: 9

Explanation:

Assuming this is the Pythagorean theorem the formula is a²+ b² = c² so we arent given a but we are given c so we have to work backwards c = 15 and 15 × 15 = 225 12 × 12 = 144 225 - 144 = 81 so Now we just have to figure out what multiplied by itself equals 81 therefore 9 is our answer because 9 × 9 = 81 Hope that helps!
