1. Problem Description

We are given a right triangle with one side length 6 and the hypotenuse 2132\sqrt{13}. We need to find the length of the other side.

2. Solution Steps

Let the unknown side be xx. Since we have a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where aa and bb are the legs and cc is the hypotenuse.
In this case, we have:
62+x2=(213)26^2 + x^2 = (2\sqrt{13})^2
36+x2=41336 + x^2 = 4 * 13
36+x2=5236 + x^2 = 52
x2=5236x^2 = 52 - 36
x2=16x^2 = 16
x=16x = \sqrt{16}
x=4x = 4
