Tiana Wang · Answer 1

Using Pythagoras Theorem:-

h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

h^2 = 25 + 144 = 169

h = sqrt 169

= 13 answer

Quinn Waller · Answer 2

Your answer is going to be Option B.

5² + 12² = c²

25 + 144 = c²

169 = c²

√ (c²) = √169

c = + / - 13

Distance can't be negative so your answer is 13 cm
