Oops I meant to put D,
Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = h^2
a^2 + 25 = 169
a^2 = 169 - 25 = 144
I would disagree.
a^2 + b^2 = h^2
a^2 + 25 = 169
a^2 = 169 - 25 = 144
I would disagree.
Oops, I agree with your second answer.
it would be 144 i believe i am very sorry if its wrong.
my bad it would be 12 cm.
