Plz help i kinda need it
Sketch your diagram and you will see that you can create a right-angled
triangle with legs of 5 m and 12 m
H^2 = 5^2 + 12^2
= 25 + 144
= 169
h = √169 = 13 m
Once you become more competent in math you will recognize the
5-12-13 along with the 3-4-5 right-angled triangle, as the simplest of
the Pythagorean triangles.
