Question

HELP HELP HELP !!!
What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle shown below?

Answer 1

Pythagoras' : \[c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}\]

c always represents he hypotenuse and a and b are the other 2 sides (of lesser length than the hypotenuse)

Answer 2

so , how do i figue it out? i got 11, but that isnt right ):

Answer 3

c^2 = (12)(12) + (5)(5) = 144 + 25

c^2 = 169

c = sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(169)

c = 13

Answer 4

so its 13?? thanks :D
