Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(12² + 16²) = 20

Answer 2

Answer:

$c=20m$

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the third side in a right triangle can be find by using the Pythagorean theorem i.e:

    $Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2$

$Base=16 m\\\\Perpendicular=12 m$

                $c^2=(12)^2+(16)^2$

               $c^2=144+256$

                $c^2=400$

                $c=\sqrt{400}$

                $c=20m$

The length of the hypotenuse 'c' is $20 m$
