Question

Please Help! Use the Pythagorean theorem to find one leg if the hypotenuse is 13 and the other leg is 5.

12
3
13.93
11.24

Answer 1

13^2+5^2=c^2
169+25=c^2
194=c^2
√194=c

13.9283883=c

Answer 2

\[A ^{2}+B ^{2}=C ^{2}\]

Hypotenuse = C
A and B are your other legs.
So plug 13 in for C, 5 in for either A or B and solve for the remaining variable.
