Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any side length of a right triangle given two side lengths, you would use the pythagorean theorem which is a² + b² = c². In this equation, a and b represents either the height of base of the triangle, and c represents the hypotenuse of the triangle (the diagonal line - in your question it is 13). By plugging in the base and hypotenuse, you get the equation of 5² + b² = 13². 5² is equal to 25 and 13² is equal to 169, so the equation is 25 + b² = 169. Subtract 25 for both sides of the equation and you find that b² = 144. Square both sides and the missing length is 12 because √144 = 12.

Answer:

4.67 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Shanna is planning a trip from Dallas, Texas, to San Diego, California.

She will travel about = 1,400 miles

The scale of a map is 300 miles = 1 inches

The trip of 1,400 miles = $\frac{1400}{300}$

= 4.66666 inches ≈ 4.67 inches

Her trip is 4.67 inches far on the map.

$5\sqrt{96}$ .
I converted it into decimal form with a calculator and got approximately 48.9898

And if you round that, you will get the 49, which fits the inequality of

45< $5\sqrt{96}$ < 50 since it becomes 45 < 49 < 50 which is true
