The third leg of the right-angle triangle will be 12 cm.
What is a right-angle triangle?
It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.
The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.
The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as
H² = P² + B²
The hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle is 13 cm and the perpendicular of the right-angle triangle is 5 cm.
Then the measure of the third side (B) of the right-angle triangle will be
13² = 5² + B²
169 = 25 + B²
B² = 169 - 25
B² = 144
B = 12
Thus, the third leg of the right-angle triangle will be 12 cm.
