Answer: About 12.083

Explanation:
In order to solve this you would use Pythagorean theorem.

You are given the length of the two legs (5 and 11)

So by plugging in 5 and 11 into A Squared plus B Squared = C Squared, you get that C^2= 146.

By finding the square root of both sides you get square root of 146, which is approximately 12.803
