Teaching Post?! Not really

OKAY! LISTEN UP!

I'm going to be your new High School Mathematics teacher til I leave this dump once more. Rebecca Miyamoto is my name. Remember it! If you have any "intelligent" questions, feel free to ask. Questions by the nature of "Why are you so little?" or "Aren't you too little to be a teacher?" are unacceptable and will garner a nice chunk of chalk right on your foreheads. To answer those questions before they are asked, I'm a graduate from M.I.T. with a triple major at the age of 10, so if you feel uncomfortable about having a 12 year old teaching you, tough luck, can it and move along. The less trouble you give me, the less likely chance of me being on your case.

Now, to start things off, can anyone tell me the answer to this problem:

In a triangle, the sum of two of the angles is equal to the third. If the lengths of the two longer sides are 12 and 13, what is the length of the shortest side?
