Find the length of the hypotenuse if the right angled triangle's other two sides are of length 5cm and 12cm.

Use of a^2+b^2=c^2 must be included in the answer.

Furthermore the numbers must be put in the above equation to give: 5^2+12^2=c^2

This must then be solved to give: 169^0.5=c

The answer can be found without a calculator to give: The length of the hypotenuse is 13cm
