Question

Help me i need help.

Answer 1

a = 5

Explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

a² + 12² = 13²

a² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

a² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )

a =
`√(25)` = 5

Answer 2

The value of a side = 5

Explanation:

By using PGT theoram

H² = P² + B²

=> 13² = a² + 12²

=> 13² - 12² = a²

=> 169 -144 = a²

=> 25 = a²

=> √25 = a

=> 5 = a
