5 is the answer
here we have hypoteaus and base
so by using pythagoreaus theorem
p^2 = h^2 - b^2
p^2 = 13^2 - 12^2
p^2 = 169 - 144
p^2 = 25
p = root under 25
p = 5
Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A^2+B^2=C^2
12^2+B^2=13^2
144+B^2=169 (You have to subtract 144 from both sides to get B^2 by its self)
-144 = -144
B^2= 25 (To get rid of the square you have to find the square root)
Square root of 25 = 5cm
