Answer:

MN = 12 units

NP = 16 units

PM = 20 units

Explanation:

You can find MN and NP by counting on the graph. To find PM you will need to use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ( ^ stands for exponent)

MN and NP will be a and b.

Example: 12^2 + 16^2 = c^2

Simplify.

Example:

144 + 256 = c^2

144 + 256 = 400

Then find the square root of 400 which is 20.

To check your work put all of the sides into the formula and it should be true.
