Answer:

approximatly 34.18

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so knowing we are finding the hypotenuse ( longest side of the triangle ), we are solving for c!

so now lets fill in the equation:

12^2 + 32^2 = c^2

so now lets break it down

12^2=144 & 32^2= 1,024

fill in the equation: 144 + 1,024 = 1,168

now just find the square root of 1,168!

which is approximatly: 34.18!!

i really hope this helped <3
