Answer:

5

Explanation:

The incenter is the point where all of the angle bisectors meet in the triangle

Using that definition, since point S is the incenter, we know segments RS and SQ are congruent.

1. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for segment RS first.

a^2+b^2=c^2 or MR^2+RS^2=MS^2

12^2+b^2=13^2

144+b^2=169

b^2=169-144

b^2=25

b=5 or RS=5

Since segment RS is congruent to segment SQ, SQ=5
