Answer:

√731 ≈ 27.03701167

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find this answer

a² + b² = c²

Let's say 13 is a and 30 is c

13² + b² = 30²

This gives you 169 + b² = 900

Subtract 169 from both sides and get b² = 731

Root both sides

√731 is already in the simplest form so that would be your final answer.
