Answer:

The Cardboard dimensions are 13cm in length and 12cm in breadth

Explanation:

We can use Pythagoras Theorem to find the length the Cardboard (a²+b²=c²). Let A be 5 and B be 12, we find that C is equivalent to 13. The height is 12, thus the breadth of the Cardboard is also 12. Hope this helps :)
