Step 1
: Identify the given side lengths.

The two legs of the right triangle are 5 ft and 12 ft.

Step 2
: Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). In equation form:

Final Answer

The length of the hypotenuse is 13 ft.
