Answer:
1.) 5 2.) 10.58
Step-by-step explanation:
For each one, you use the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the "hypotenuse"-- the side of the triangle opposite (facing) the right angle which is shown with a small box. The variables a and b do not matter, as long as they are the "legs", the other 2 sides.
So it is 4^2 + 3^2 = c^2 which simplifies to 16+9=25=c^2 and square root both sides and you get c=5
and 12^2 + b^2 = 16^2 which simplifies to 144+ b^2 = 256 and subtract 144 from both sides and you get b^2 = 112 and square root both sides and it is approximately 10.6 :)
