Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle you can you pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
A= shortest side.
B=middle side.
C=longest/slanted side or hypotenuse.
So AB is the hypotenuse.
BC is the short side.
this means that AC is the middle side. Plug your numbers in.
25 + b^2 =169
b^2=144
b=12
AC=12
