Correct Answer: 6.5 cm
Solution : The lengths of the two adjacent sides of a rectangle inscribed in a circle are 5 cm and 12 cm, respectively. Since it is a rectangle, Diagonal = $\sqrt{12^{2}+5^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{144+25}$ = $\sqrt{169}$ = 13 cm Here, the diagonal of the rectangle = diameter of the circle So, the radius of the circle = $\frac{13}{2}$ = 6.5 cm Hence, the correct answer is 6.5 cm.
