Answer:
base= 12 height=5
Step-by-step explanation:
let base be x
height=x-7
by pyth theo
13^2=(x-7)^2+x^2
169=x^2-14x+49+x^2
169=2x^2-14x+49
0=2x^2-14x-120
0=x^2-7x-60
0=x^2+5x-12x-60
0=x(x+5)-12(x+5)
0=(x-12)(x+5)
x=12 or x=-5
but length cannot be negative
therefore x=12
base=x=12 unit
height=x-7=12-7=5 units
