Respuesta :

Answer:

c = 20 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides , that is

c² = 12² + 16² = 144 + 256 = 400 ( take square root of both sides )

c = [tex]\sqrt{400}[/tex] = 20
