To find \( x \) given the measurements \( 12 \, \text{cm} \) and \( 13 \, \text{cm} \), we need more context about the relationship between these measurements.
If we assume these represent the sides of a right triangle, we can possibly use the Pythagorean theorem, which states:
\[
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\]
where \( c \) is the length of the hypotenuse.
If \( 12 \, \text{cm} \) and \( 13 \, \text{cm} \) are the two legs of a right triangle, then:
\[
12^2 + x^2 = 13^2
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
144 + x^2 = 169
\]
Subtracting \( 144 \) from both sides:
\[
x^2 = 25
\]
Taking the square root of both sides:
\[
x = 5 \, \text{cm}
\]
