Question

Find the hypotenuse. (4 Points)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{169}$ = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

a²+b²=c²

5²+12²= c²

25+144=c²

169=c²

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

13=c
