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.

What minimized the need for colonial and Native cooperation and the enslavement of Natives.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: The increased importation of African Slaves

Step-by-step explanation:

The enslavement of the Natives happened for centuries after the Americas were colonized with millions of natives enslaved and sent to work in brutal conditions. Normally it was cheaper to use Native enslaved people than to import Africans but the Native population went on the decline due to disease, and continued war.

The colonists therefore turned to African slaves who had the advantage of being knowledgeable in Arable farming. With the increased importation of African slaves, the need for the enslavement of Natives was minimized.
