To determine if the sides 5, 12, and 13 can form a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Here, we check if (5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2). Calculating, (25 + 144 = 169), which equals (169). Thus, 5, 12, and 13 can indeed form a right triangle.
