Question

a company produces flags in the shape of a right triangle with legs of length 5 feet and 12 feet. the three sides of each flag are finished with

Answer 1

Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using phythagoras Theorem

H² = B² + P²

H² = 12² + 5²

H² = 144 + 25

H =  √169

H = 13

Answer 2

a company produces flags in the shape of a right triangle with legs of length 5 feet and 12 feet.

The three sides of each flag are given as follows,

Since the two sides of the right triangular flag are given, so we have,

The length of the flag = 5 feet

The base of the flag = 12 feet,

The hypotenuse of the flag is given by a Pythagoreus triplet,  

5, 12, 13

∵ 13² = 5² + 12²

Therefore, the third side of each flag is 13 feet in length.
