Answer:

$\sqrt{135}$

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorum = a suqared plus b squared equals c squared. a= 3 and c = 12 so b is unknown in this case. 12 squared is 144 and then you subtract 3 squared which is 9 which is 135 so idk radical form but the answer of the equation is the square root of 135 which is approximately 11.619.
