the way to find out the answer is to use Pythagorean theorem (a2 + b2 = c2) a is one of the sides touching the right angle, b is the other side touching it and c is the hypotenuse ( the side that's not touching the right angle). the biggist side in a right triangle will always be the hypotenuse. you can plug in 12 to c because we know it's the biggest. the other two sides become a and b. this equation only works on right triangles so when we plug everything in, if they don't equal each other than it's not a right triangle. otherwise it is. a2 + b2 = c2 , 82 + 102 = 122 , 64 + 100 = 144 ,
164 = 144. these numbers don't equal each other so these sides don't make a right triangle.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 5 and 12?
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 5 and 12 units is: 13The length of a hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs with lengths of 5 and 12 is: 13
If the legs of a right triangle have measures of 9 and 12 what is the length of the hypotenuse?
If the legs of a right triangle have measures of 9 and 12, the hypotenuse is: 15
Is 9 and 12 and 15 a right triangle?
Yes. 3, 4, 5 is a right triangle and by Pythagora's proof 32 + 42 = 52 Your 9, 12, 15 triangle has the same proportions scaled up 3 times.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 13 cm and one leg that measures 12 cm What is the length of the other leg?
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 13 cm and one leg that measures 12 cm What is the length of the other leg?
If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 cm and one leg that measures 9cm?
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12cm and a leg that is 9cm the other leg would be 7.94. This is a math problem.
