Question 515153: I have a right triangle labled mno with a base as twice as long as the height. Height is equal to 6 and labled mn. The hypotenus is the square root of 136. Find the measure of side no?

136-(6)^2=100
sq rt 100=10
I don't totally understand the given information, because if the base is twice the heigth it should be 12, but in doing the calculations it comes out to be 10?
