It depends on the given information.
McKenzie's work is correct if the two short sides are given as 5 and 13.
Cara's work is correct is almost correct if 5 is one leg, and 13 is the hypotenuse. The exact answer is 12, but she wrote it as approximately equal. That's her only problem.
By the way, Ddssaa122: when posting questions, the power of a number is written as 5^2 and not 52. 5^2=5*5, 52=4*13, so they are not the same.
