Question

In a right triangle, the length of the legs is 12cm and 5cm. Find the length of the hypotenuse. remember to include the unit of measure in the answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

13cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right  triangle, the length of opposite and adjacent are 5cm and 12cm.

Applying pythagorean theorem

 Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2+adjacent^2

 Hypotenuse^2 = (5*5)+(12*12)

 Hypotenuse^2 = 25+144

   Hypotenuse   = 169^1/2

                           = 13

Therefore, the length of hypotenuse is 13cm

Answer 2

Answer:

h²=s²+s²

h²=12²+5²

h²=144+25

h²=169

h=root 169

h=13

hope this helps.!!
