Since, △ABC is a right angled triangle. We can apply Pythagoras' Theorem to find the length of AB.
According to Pythagoras’ theorem, “In a right angled triangle: The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.”
Applying Pythagoras’ theorem in △ABC, we get
AB2=AC2+BC2
⇒AB2=52+122
⇒AB2=25+144
⇒AB2=169
⇒AB=169−−−√
⇒AB=13 cm
∴ Length of AB is 13 cm.
