Answer:

12.65

Explanation:

In the case of the blue triangle, to calculate the rise, which would be the increase, therefore it would be the hypotenuse formed by the arrow.

We have to Pythagoras is:

h ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2

In this case:

a (x-axis) = 4

b (y-axis) = 12

replacing:

h ^ 2 = 4 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2

h ^ 2 = 160

h = 12.65

Which means that the rise in the blue triangle is 12.65 units
