Answer:

Estimate 23.3

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we are going to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the other side.

The formula for it is; [tex]a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]

So c squared is always the Hypotenuse which is made up a and b squared added together. The Hypotenuse is the longest side and the is the side that we are looking for.

So, [tex]20^{2}+12^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]

400 + 144 = c^{2}[/tex]

544 = c^{2}[/tex]

c = Estimate 23.3
