In right triangle ABC, angle C is a right angle, AB = 13and BC = 5 What is the length of AC? Draw the triangle to help visualize the problem.
The triangle ABC is not a right angle triangle because its given dimensions do not comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle

By using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle if side AB is the hypotenuse it is the square root of 149 which is about 12.207 rounded to three decimal places
The given dimensions would not make a right angle triangle because they don't comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
If CB is the hypotenuse, then AB measures, √ (62 - 52) = √ 11 = 3.3166 (4dp) If AB is the hypotenuse then it measures, √ (62 + 52) = √ 61 = 7.8102 (4dp)
