Answer:
To find the hypotenuse you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem which is
a^2+b^2=c^2
Where a and b are your two sides and c is your diagonal line
So you want to plug the numbers in for the right variables
5^2+12^2=c^2
We want to find what c equals so we are first gonna simplify
25+144=c^2
we take 5^2=25, and 12^2=144, then we add them together 25+144=169
169=c^2 now you want to take 169 and square root it because the opposite of squaring is taking it by the root square
The square root of 169=13
Your hypotenuse is 13
Hope this helps ;)
