The size of the candle 12cm will be reduced as follows:
12-0.5x (x are hours), an the size of the candle 18cm will be reduced as follows: 18-2x, so if you want to find at what time both will be the same height only match the two equations: 12-0.5x=18-2x and solvr for x.
-0.5x+2x=18-12
1.5x=6
x=6/1.5=4 this means 4 hours
If you lit both candles at 6pm then at 10pm they will be the same height
(adittional info: the height will be 10inches)

You can find the value of the hypotenuse if you apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is show below:


 h²=a²+ b² ⇒ h=√(a² + b²)


 h: hypotenuse (the opposite side of the right angle and the longest side of the triangle).

 a and b: legs (the sides that form the right angle).


 Then, you have:


 h²=a² + b²

 h²=12²+12²

 h=√ ((12)² + (12)²)

 h=12√2


 What is the lenght of the hypotenuse?


 The answer is: The length of the hypotenuse is 12√2
