Answer:

<u>The missing side is 12 cm length</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to solve the case correctly:

Length of the longest side= 13 cm

Length of one leg = 5 cm

2. Using the Pythagorean theorem for finding the length of the second leg, because this is a right triangle:

2nd leg² = Length of the longest side ² - Length of one leg²

2nd leg² = 13 ² - 5 ²

2nd leg² = 169 -25

2nd leg² = 144

2nd leg = √144

2nd leg = 12 cm

<u>The missing side is 12 cm length</u>

Answer:

sqrt(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1/ ( x^(-3/6))

We can simplify the fraction

1/ ( x^(-1/2))

A negative exponent means that since it is in the denominator, it goes to the numerator. It still keeps the exponent.

x^ (1/2)
