02

Step 2. Apply Pythagoras theorem

  • In the given triangle, the length of one of the legs is 5. So, a=5.
  • The length of the hypotenuse is 13. So, c=15.
  • Substitute the values into the Pythagoras Theorem, a2+b2=c2 and solve for the unknown variable b.

52+b2=13225+b2=169b2=144b=12

  • So, the length of the unknown leg is 12.
