We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing hypotenuse. The theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b).

Let's assume that the lengths of the other two sides are 11 cm and 13 cm:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 11^2 + 13^2
c^2 = 121 + 169
c^2 = 290

To find c, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:

c = √290

Therefore, the missing hypotenuse is approximately 17 cm.
