Answer:

OPTION C, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula, substitute the hypotenuse and the other leg of the right triangle.

13²=12²+b²

Rearrange appropriately.

13²-12²=c²

Convert.

13²=169

12²=144

Apply and work out.

169-144= 25

c²=25

c=√25

c=5

OPTION C is therefore the answer.
