Answer:
right angled triangle 13
Step-by-step explanation:
c =hypotenuse
c =hypotenusea and b = leg
Solution:
[tex] {c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {c}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {5}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {c}^{2} = 144 \: + \: 25[/tex]
[tex] {c}^{2} = 169[/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{ {c}^{2} } = \sqrt{169} [/tex]
The final answer is:
[tex]c \: = \: 13[/tex]
