What is the length of the unknown side?

Hi there!

The correct answer is: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing this a right triangle you can solve this problem in two ways

Method One: Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 then plug in the values

(12)^2 + (16)^2 = c^2 this will come out to be 400 = c^2

square root both sides and you get c = 20

Method Two: Pythagorean Identities

if you ever learned the Pythagorean identity 3,4,5

this triangle is indeed a 3,4,5 triangle it's just that each side is multiplied by the factor 4

so in this case since you know the missing side should be 5 you just multiply 5 by 4 and you get 20

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
