The length of the hypotenuse of this triangle is 15 inches.
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs.
In this case, let's label the legs of the triangle as a and b, with a = 9 inches and b = 12 inches. Let c be the length of the hypotenuse that we want to find. Then the Pythagorean theorem can be written as:
c² = a² + b²
Substituting the values we know, we get:
c² = 9^2 + 12^2
c² = 81 + 144
c² = 225
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
c = √225
c = 15
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle is 15 inches.

In order to determine the number of plants needed for Jessica's garden, we would need to first calculate the area of the triangular garden and then multiply by 2 (since she wants 2 plants per square yard). Without specific dimensions of the garden, we can't provide a specific number.
The question is about calculating the number of plants Jessica needs for her right triangle garden. To solve this problem, we first need to know the dimensions of the garden to calculate its area. For a right triangle, the area is calculated as half of the product of the length and width (base and height). Let's assume the garden's dimensions are base b yards and height h yards. Thus, the area is 0.5*b*h square yards.
Given that Jessica wants 2 plants for each square yard, the number of plants she needs would be twice the area of the garden. So if the area is 'A', she will need 2*A plants. Without knowing the specific dimensions of the garden, this is the best estimates that we can provide.
