Respuesta :

The length of the other leg of the right-angle triangle will be √120 units. Then the correct option is B.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

If a right-angle triangle has a hypotenuse of the length of 13 units and a leg of length of 7 units.

Let x be the third side of the right triangle.

Then the length of the other leg of the right-angle triangle will be

13² = x² + 7²

169 = x² + 49

x² = 169 - 49

x² = 120

x = √120 units

Then the correct option is B.
