You are solving for the height. Use the formula:
c² - b² = a² in which c = hypotenuse
(13)² - (5)² = a²
Simplify
169 - 25 = a²
144 = a²
Isolate the a. Root both sides
√144 = √a²
a = √144
a = √(12 x 12)
a = 12
C) 12 feet is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:
In algebra, a variable can be equal to any amount of numbers depending on how it is used. In this case, m is only equal to the one value of 8, and therefore only has <u>one solution.</u>
m - 8
(8) - 8
