Question

Find the measurement of the missing side in each right triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

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

in this case its

$5^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $13^{2}$

25 + $b^{2}$ = 169 subtract 25 from both sides

$b^{2}$ = 144 take square root of each side

b = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

$12$

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

In order to find the missing side of the triangle, we would need to use the Pythagorean theorem: $a^2+b^2=c^2$

So,

$5^2+b^2=13^2$

$25+b^2=169$

$b^2=144$

$b=12$
