Sagot :

Answer:

5 in. the answer lies in the Pythagorean theorem

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagorean theorem:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

a and b are sides

c is the hypotenuse

in this case we need a side:

[tex]a^2+12^2=13^2\\a^2 + 144 = 169\\[/tex]

subtract 144 from 169

[tex]a^2=25\\\sqrt{a} ^{2} = \sqrt{25}[/tex]

so a = 5

THE ANSWER IS 5 :)
