answer: 13 sqrt 2

sqrt 2 = 1.414213562373095 x 13 = 18.38477631085024

since they are squares, both sides are equal.

now to prove this, use the pythagorean theorem:

18.38477631085024^2 + 18.38477631085024^2 = c^2

676 = c^2

sqrt 676 = 26

therefore we got the correct amount! :)

final answer: 13 sqrt 2

hope this helped u out and pls give me brainliest! <3
