Answer :
This is how you solve for the unknown side since 13 is the hypotensue and 5 is a leg.
5^2+b^2=13^2
25+b^2=169
b^2=144
b=12
You can also remember that any triangle with sides 5, 12, 13 is a special right triangle much like one with sides 3, 4, 5

the pythagorean theorem is a^+b^=c^
13 will be the height of the triangle
5 will be the base of the triangle
so u plug it into the formula.
13^+5^=194
and to find the distance of the triangle u need to find the square root of 194 which is approximately 13.9 so that is your answer.
