Respuesta :

The sum of the other 2 sides must be greater than 13. 

Answer:

Possible lengths of other two sides can be 5 and 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given triangle be a scalene triangle.

Then, the condition for three sides to form a triangle is sum of any two sides should be greater than the third side.

Take 5 and 12.

Now, 5 + 12 = 17 > 13

12 + 13 = 25 > 5

13 + 5 = 18 > 12

Hence, 5, 12 and 13 are possible lengths of sides of a triangle.

Moreover, if the given triangle is right angled, and its hypotenuse is 13,

then, by Pythogoras theorem,

[tex]13^{2} =5^{2} +12^{2}[/tex]

Hence, the possible lengths of other two sides can be 5 and 12.
