Question

please help! i think the answer is 12 but any verification would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Answer:

13.9 or 14

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 13^2 = c^2

25 + 169 = 197

square root 197 to get c

c = 13.9 (14 rounded up)

Helpful thing to note is that the hyptoenuse will always be longer than your "long side" of the triangle

Answer 2

the right answer is 12 !
