What is the measure of the hypotenuse?

To find the hypotenuse you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem which is

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where a and b are your two sides and c is your diagonal line

So you want to plug the numbers in for the right variables

5^2+12^2=c^2

We want to find what c equals so we are first gonna simplify

25+144=c^2

we take 5^2=25, and 12^2=144, then we add them together 25+144=169

169=c^2 now you want to take 169 and square root it because the opposite of squaring is taking it by the root square

The square root of 169=13

Your hypotenuse is 13

Hope this helps ;)
