Denzel Nguyen · Answer 1

14.765 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c is the hypotenuse and a and by are the legs and heighs

13^2 + 7^2 = c^2

169 + 49 = c^2

218 = c^2

c=14.765

Cadence Roy · Answer 2

Square root of 218, or about 14.7648230602.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem says that a^2+b^2=c^2.

13^2+7^2=c^2

169+49=c^2

218=c^2

c=√218
