a and b are the other sides

Put in the values you know

Square the numbers

Subtract 25 from both sides

Take the square root of both sides

a = 10.9

The answer is D) 10.9 centimeters

Answer 2

Hello!

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem

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

c is the hypotenuse which is the side across the right angle
a and b are the other sides

Put in the values you know

$a^{2} + 5^{2} = 12^{2}$

Square the numbers

$a^{2} + 25 = 144$

Subtract 25 from both sides

$a^{2} = 119$

Take the square root of both sides

a = 10.9

The answer is D) 10.9 centimeters

Hope this helps!
