Question

Using the following measurements, find the length of the leg of this right triangle:
leg = 5
hypotenuse = 13
12
13
144

Answer 1

we have this right triangle

Answer 2

using the pythagorean theorem, we get


a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + x^2 = 13^2
25 + x^2 = 169
x^2 = 169 - 25
x^2 = 144
x = sqrt(144)
x = 12

So the missing side is 12
