PLEASE HELP ASAP, EXTRA POINTS, CORRECT ANSWER ONLY!

Mr. Green tells you that a right angle has a hypotenuse of 13 and a leg of 5. She asks you to find the other leg of the triangle. Whats is your answer??

Respuesta :

Answer:

Length of leg β‡’ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing this is a right angle triangle, let us apply Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of this other leg, which we can assign as x;

x^2 + 5^2 = 13^2 β‡’ square 5 and 13,

x^2 + 25 = 169 β‡’ subtract 25 from either side of equation,

x^2 = 144 β‡’ Take square root on either side,

Solution; Length of leg β‡’ 12
