Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
I am amusing you are looking for the hypotenuse since this is middle school.
If you have the legs and are looking for the hypotenuse you use the Pythagorean Theorem
The legs are a and b, and the hypotenuse is c
The work would look like this

so the is cancled by aka
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
When we have a quadratic equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
There is something called the determinant, and this is:
D = b^2 - 4*a*c
If D < 0, then the we will have complex solutions.
In our case, we have
5*x^2 - 10*x + c = 0
Then the determinant is:
D = (-10)^2 - 4*5*c = 100 - 4*5*c
And we want this to be smaller than zero, then let's find the value of c such that the determinant is exactly zero:
D = 0 = 100 - 4*5*c
4*5*c = 100
20*c = 100
c = 100/20 = 5
As c is multiplicating the negative term in the equation, if c increases, then we will have that D < 0.
This means that c must be larger than 5 if we want to have complex solutions,
c > 5.
I can not represent this in your number line, but this would be represented with a white dot in the five, that extends infinitely to the right, something like the image below:
