Step-by-step explanation:

in a right triangle, the longest leg is called the hypotenuse. To find the missing side, you need to use the Pythagorean theorem.

"a^2+b^2=c^2"

c = the hypotenuse

a and be are the other legs.

plug in the numbers.

5^2+b^2 = 12^2

25 + b^2 = 144

b^2 = 119

b = 10.98 (approximately)
