Answer:
We can do this by using the Pythagorean theorem
The pythagorean theorem states that the hypotenuse (longest side of a triangle) in a right triangle, squared, is equal to the sum of the other 2 sides of the triangles, squared.
It's expressed as so:
[tex]c^2 = a^2+b^2[/tex] where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other 2 sides.
Therefore,
[tex]c^2 = 12^2+6^2[/tex]
[tex]c^2=144+36[/tex]
[tex]c^2=180[/tex]
Square root of 180 is:
13.416407865 or 13.4
