Ms. green tells you that a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 13 and a leg of 5. she asks you to find the other leg of the triangle. what is your answer?

Respuesta :

12 is the answer
we have to use Pythagoras theorem
Use the pythagorean theorem

(13)2 =(5)2 + x2
169 = 25 + x2
169-25 = x2
144 = x2
x = 12
The answer is 12
