Question

Based on the given information, what is the measure of the missing length, c?

Answer 1

Answer:

$c=5\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$AC^{2}=AB^{2}+BC^{2}$

substitute the given values

$13^{2}=c^{2}+12^{2}$

Solve for c

$169=c^{2}+144$

$c^{2}=169-144$

$c^{2}=25$

$c=5\ units$
