To determine which side length is adjacent to angle D, we need to identify which side forms an angle with angle D.

In a triangle, typically:
- The two sides that form an angle are called adjacent sides.
- The side opposite to the angle is called the opposite side.

Without knowing the specific orientation of angle D in your triangle, we'll assume that you have a triangle with sides 5, 12, and 13.

In a right triangle, the longest side is typically the hypotenuse. In this case, with sides of lengths 5, 12, and 13, we recognize that:

- 5 and 12 are the lengths of the legs (the sides that are not the hypotenuse),
- 13 is the hypotenuse.

If angle D is one of the non-right angles (and assuming it's one of the angles made by the sides with lengths 5 and 12), then the side opposite angle D is either 5 or 12, and the side adjacent to angle D would be the other leg.

So if angle D is adjacent to the side of length 5, then the side length adjacent to angle D is 12. Conversely, if it is adjacent to the side of length 12, then the side length adjacent to angle D is 5.

Please provide more details about angle D's location for a definitive answer!
