Answer:

A

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

t² + 12² = 13²

t² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

t² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

t =
√(25) = 5 → A
