Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

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

in this case its

[tex]5^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = [tex]13^{2}[/tex]

25 + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = 169 subtract 25 from both sides

[tex]b^{2}[/tex] = 144 take square root of each side

b = 12

Answer:

[tex]12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

In order to find the missing side of the triangle, we would need to use the Pythagorean theorem: [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

So,

[tex]5^2+b^2=13^2[/tex]

[tex]25+b^2=169[/tex]

[tex]b^2=144[/tex]

[tex]b=12[/tex]

--------------------

Hope this helps.
