Answer:
The length of the missing leg is 12 cm.
Explanation:
a² + b² = c² (Pythagoras theorem)
c is the hypotenuse (longest length) of a triangle.
a and b are the two other side of the triangle excluding the longest one.
Let x cm be the length of the missing leg of the right triangle.
x² + 5² = 13² (Pyth. Thm.)
x² = 13² - 5²
x² = 169 - 25
x² = 144
x = √144
x = 12
