The longest side of the right triangle with sides measuring 5 inches, 12 inches, and 13 inches is 13 inches, which is the hypotenuse.
When the triangle is rotated 180 degrees about a point, the lengths of the sides of the triangle do not change; they only change their position in space. Therefore, after the rotation, the length of the longest side (the hypotenuse) remains the same.
Thus, the length of the longest side of the triangle after the rotation is still **13 inches**.
