Answer:

8 cm and 9 cm

Explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) The other two sides have to equal somethinng that is bigger than 13.

2) 5 cm + 8 cm = 13 cm, therefore, 5 cm and 8 cm is not the correct answer.

3) 6 cm + 7 cm = 13 cm, therefore, 6 cm and 7 cm is not the correct answer.

4) 7 cm + 2 cm = 9 cm, therefore, 7 cm and 2 cm is not the correct answer.

5) Finally, 8 cm + 9 cm = 17 cm, therefore, it is the correct answer since it has a bigger value than 13.

Hope this helps! :D
