Brandon uses the following reasoning to find the length c of the third side in the triangle shown. "The two legs of the triangle are 5 and 12. I know by the Pythagorean Theorem that  $5^2+12^2=c^2$ . I calculate  $5^2+12^2=25+144=169$ . My calculator says that the square root of 169 is 13, so c=13." Which statement is true about this reasoning?

• Brandon's reasoning is correct.
  

• The Pythagorean Theorem does not apply to this triangle.
  

• The Pythagorean Theorem applies, but Brandon made a calculation error.
  

• It is true that c=13, but Brandon's reasoning is incorrect because he used a calculator.
