Answer:
h=15feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
using Pythagoras theorem
h²=p²+b²
- h²=12²+9²
- h²=144+81
- h=√225
- h=15feet.
hope it helps.
stay safe healthy and happy.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
[tex]( {perpendicular})^{2} + ( {base})^{2} = ( {hypotenuse})^{2} \\⇢ ({12 \: ft})^{2} + ( {9 \: ft})^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ ⇢ 144 \: {ft}^{2} + 81 \: {ft}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ ⇢ 225 \: {ft}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ ⇢ \sqrt{225 \: {ft}^{2} } = c \\ ⇢ \sqrt{15 \times 15 \: {ft}^{2} } = c \\ ⇢ 15 \: ft = c[/tex]
[tex]\sf\blue{Therefore,\:the\:length\:of\:the\:hypotenuse\:is\:15\:feet.}[/tex]
