Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is C) 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse (longest side) of a right triangle, you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The formula for the hypotenuse is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

5^2 (five squared) equals 25, and 12^2 (twelve squared) equals 144.

25 + 144 = 169

Next, find the square root of 169. It is 13. 13 is the length of the hypotenuse.
