Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem is as follows:
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:
Solve for the other leg:
Square what's in the parentheses from above
Subtract 25 from 169
Square root both sides
a = 12 cm
Thus, the length of the other leg is 12 cm.
Let's check our answer:
Square everything
144 + 25 = 169 Add
169 = 169
Because both sides are equal it means that 12 cm is the correct answer.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Group like terms
= 2x - x +3 +5
Add the similar 'elements'
= x + 3 + 5
Add the numbers
3 + 5 = 8 + x
= x+8

Answer:
13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313
Step-by-step explanation:
If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...
x(13 -x) = -12
x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify
x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square
(x -6.5)^2 = 54.25
x -6.5 = √54.25
x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313
and the other number is ...
13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313
The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.
