To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

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

Where <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse and the legs are<em> a</em> and <em>b.</em>

2. Now, you must substitute the values given in the problem above and solve for <em>b</em>:

(2b)^{2}=b^{2}+12^{2}\\4b^{2}=b^{2}+144\\4b^{2}-b^{2}=144\\3b^{2}=144\\b=\sqrt{\frac{144}{3}}\\b=6.92

Therefore, the answer is: The value of <em>b</em> is 6.92
