HELP!!! Answer by aranajay(3) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let c is our hypotenous
let b is one side of right triangle
let a= is other side
Formula= c^2= a^2+ b^2
were looking for a?
so......a^2= c^2 - b^2
a^2= 13^2 - 12^2
A^2= 169- 144
A^2= 25
A = 5(Square root of 25 is 5) is the final answer
