Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 5 ft and 12 ft

A: 11 ft
B: 13 ft
C:17 ft
D: 60 ft
Please help me...

sue ur a fart head

13

just kidding

yea what is it?

yep we are going to fail

?????sooo what is it??????????

To find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. According to the theorem, in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

So, in this case, the lengths of the legs are given as 5 ft and 12 ft. Let's denote the hypotenuse as 'c' and the legs as 'a' and 'b'. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the equation as:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Substituting the values:

c^2 = 5^2 + 12^2
c^2 = 25 + 144
c^2 = 169

To find the length of the hypotenuse 'c', we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:

c = √169

Simplifying the square root, we get:

c = 13 ft

So, the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 13 ft. Therefore, the correct answer is option B: 13 ft.

You're welcome.

Thank you Ms. Sue

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
