What is the length of the hypotenuse

Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
To find Hypotenuse: Pythagorean Theroem
a^2+ b^2= c^2
The legs are A and B
The side that is directly across from the Right angle is C
12^2 + 16^2 =C^2
144+256=400
400 = c^2
Square root on both sides to get rid of c^2
The square root of 400 is 20
c=20
Answer:
20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
c = (a² + b²)
c= (12^2 + 16^2)
c= square root (400)
c= 20
