If a right triangle has sides of 12 and 5, what is the hypotenuse side equal to?
h = sqrt(12^2+5^2) = sqrt(169) = 13
----------------------------------------------
If a right triangle has a hypotenuse side equal to 13 and one side equal to 5 what is the other side?
13^2 = x^2 + 5^2
x^2 = 169-25
x^2 = 144
x = 12
