Need help with this

a²+b² = c² where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse
So...
a²+4²=13²
a²+16=169
a²=153
a=√153
answer: approx. 12.37 units
The equation would be a^ + 4^ = 13^
First we need to bring the numbers to the second power, 4 to the second would be 16, 13 to the second power is 169.
Then we subtract 16 from 169, which equals to 153.
Then we "square root" the 153 because of the 2nd power on top of the a
The correct answer would be 12.4
I hope this helps :)
STAY SAFE!! :D
