C = 13
B = 12
What does A =?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Since your question goes under the section "Pythagorean Theorem", 
I can conclude that your question is about a right-angled triangle.

Standard naming for the right-angled triangle sides is: A and B are the legs, and C is the hypotenuse.

And the Pythagorean Theorem says:  = ,   or

A = .

Now substitute your data, and you will learn what A does:

A =  =  =  = 5.

Answer.  A = 5.  //  A does 5.

Had you formulate your question in more clear way, you'd got the clear answer faster.
