    b = 4√3

    using Pythagoras' identity in the given triangle

    c² = a² + b² (substitute c = 2b and a = 12 into the equation)

    (2b) ² = 12² + b²

    4b² = 144 + b² (subtract b² from both sides)

    4b² - b² = 144

    3b² = 144 (divide both sides by 3)

    b² = 48 (take the square root of both sides)

    b = √48 = √ (16 * 3) = √16 * √3 = 4√3 ' exact value '
