What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle shown?

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theeorem:

a,b - leg lengths

c - hypotenuse length

We have a = 12 and b = 16. Substitute:

c = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

c² = 12² + 16² = 144 + 256 = 400

Take the square root of both sides

c = = 20

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
