Select the correct answer.
What is the missing side length in this right triangle?

Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a right angle triangle so we can use the pythogorean theorem to solve for Hypotenuse
[tex] {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} [/tex]
So if we apply this formula,
[tex] {9}^{2} + {12}^{2} = {c}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]81 + 144 = {c}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]225 = {c}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]c = \sqrt{225} [/tex]
[tex]c = 15[/tex]
Hope this helps :)
