Answer 1

HEY BUDDY..!!

HERE'S THE ANSWER..

________________________

♠️ It is a right angled triangle, so we can use Pythagoras is it ,

✔️ ( AB )^2 = ( AC )^2 + ( BC )^2

⏺️AB = 13 cm

⏺️BC = 12 cm

⏺️AC = ?

=> ( 13 )^2 = ( 12 )^2 + ( BC )^2

=> 169 = 144 + ( BC )^2

=> ( BC )^2 = 169 - 144

=> ( BC )^2 = 25

=> BC = √ 25

=> [ BC = 5 cm ]
