In order to determine the length of the third side of a triangle, we first need to identify the remaining side lengths. Based on the information provided, we have sides of length 5 and 12.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side (let's call it 'a'). The theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
a^2 = 5^2 + 12^2
a^2 = 25 + 144
a^2 = 169
a = √169
a = 13
Therefore, the length of the third side is 13 units.
