Answer:

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem says:


a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are the two legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. Here, let's say a = 6 and b =
√(13). We then get the following equation:


c^2= (6)^2+(√(13))^2=49

So c = 7. Technically, c can also equal -7 since (-7)^2 = 49 as well but that does not apply here because a side length cannot be <0. So 7 is the answer.
