You can find the value of the hypotenuse if you apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is show below:
h²=a²+ b² ⇒ h=√(a² + b²)
h: hypotenuse (the opposite side of the right angle and the longest side of the triangle).
a and b: legs (the sides that form the right angle).
Then, you have:
h²=a² + b²
h²=12²+12²
h=√ ((12)² + (12)²)
h=12√2
What is the lenght of the hypotenuse?
The answer is: The length of the hypotenuse is 12√2
