Question 5 of 5
Find the length of side a.
13
a
12
O A. 1
O B. 313
O C. 25
O D. 5

Answer:
It's D. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
The third length of the right triangle is 5 units. Then the correct option is D.
The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.
The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as
H² = P² + B²
We have
P = a
B = 12
H = 13
Then
13² = a² + 12²
169 = a² + 144
a² = 169 – 144
a² = 25
a = 5
Then the correct option is D.
