PLS HELP

16

Step-by-step explanation:

First use the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.

12^2+b^2=20^2. Solve the exponents: 144+b^2=400. Then, subtract the 144 from 400. That would be 256. Therefore b^2=256. Then you find the square root of 256=16.

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythogoras theory

hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2

you have been given the hyp and the opp so lets make the unknown x

20^2=12^2+x^2

400 =144+x^2

make x the subject of the formula

400-144=x^2

266=x^2

x=the square root of 266

answer: the equation matches the regression
