Question

What is the length of BC on in the right triangle below? Non

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

You need you use the Pythagorean Theorem to answer this. We are given the lengths of both legs of the right triangle.

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

If we plug the number given to us into the formula, we get

(12)^2 + (16)^2 = c^2

144 + 256 = c^2

400 = c^2

$\sqrt{400}$ = C

20 = C
