Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem ([tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]). A and b are the two legs of the triangle, and c is ALWAYS the hypotenuse. Plug in the values for a and c

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

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

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

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

[tex]b=12[/tex]

Answer:

b = 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

b^2 = 144 --> find square root of 144*

b = 12
