Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is as follows:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

A and B represent the side lengths (legs) and C represents the hypotenuse.

The length of one leg equals 5cm. (This can be represented by either a or b)

The hypotenuse equals 13 cm.

Plug these into the equation from above:

a^{2} + (5^{2}) = (13^{2})

Solve for the other leg:

   a^{2} + 25 = 169                          Square what's in the parentheses from above

a^{2} = 144\\                                  Subtract 25 from 169

\sqrt{a^{2} } = \sqrt{144}                            Square root both sides

a = 12 cm                        

Thus, the length of the other leg is 12 cm.

Let's check our answer:

12^{2} +5^{2} =13^{2}                        Square everything

144 + 25 = 169                      Add

169 = 169

Because both sides are equal it means that 12 cm is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!!

A rectangular window is 1 meter high and 2 meters wide. What is the perimeter of the window in meters? What is it in centimeters
DIA [1.3K]
The perimeter is the total length of all sides of the shape. 

It is 1 meter + 1 meter + 2 meter + 2 meter = 6 meters

1 meter = 100 centimeter

6(100) = 600 centimeter

Hope this helps! :)
