A*a + b*b = c*c
9*9 + 12*12 = c*c
81 + 144 = c*c
225 = c*c
✓225 = 15
c = 15
The hypotenuse is 15.

I am assuming you mean hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 12 and 9

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse

12^2 +9^2 = c^2

144 +81 = c^2

225 = c^2

c=15

The hypotenuse is 15 mi

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First start with the blank equation

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

Plug in the legs and hypotenuse. Remember c squared is always the hypotenuse.

$5^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2}$

Then solve

25 + 144 = $c^{2}$

169 = $c^{2}$

$\sqrt{169} = \sqrt{c^{2} }$

c = 13

Stardust the unicorn, covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip to the forest. On a later trip he travelled 300 miles whi

timama [110]

For this case, the first thing we must take into account is the following definition:
d = v * t
Where,
d: distance
v: speed
t: time
Substituting values we have:
Trip 1:
50 = v * t1
We cleared t1:
t2 = (50) * (1 / v)
Trip 2:
300 = (3 * v) * t2
We cleared t2:
t2 = (300/3) * (1 / v)
t2 = (100) * (1 / v)
Rewriting:
t2 = 2 (50) * (1 / v)
t2 = 2 * t1
Answer:
His new time compared with the old time was:
Twice the old time.
t2 = 2 * t1.
