Answer:

12 inches

Explanation:

30-13=17

17-5= 12

Use information about the triangle's perimeter, to find the side length of C.

If the triangle frame is a right triangle, than you could use the Pythagorean Theorem and use the following formula, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, to find the measure of side c.

Have a great rest of your day, and I hope this helps!
