    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let a, b, c represent the sides of the right triangle, with hypotenuse c.

    We are given ...

    (a/2) ^2 + b^2 = (√73) ^2

    a^2 + (b/2) ^2 = (2√13) ^2

    Adding these two equations, we get ...

    (5/4) a^2 + (5/4) b^2 = 125

    Multiplying by 4/5 gives ...

    a^2 + b^2 = 100

    But we know that ...

    a^2 + b^2 = c^2 = 100

    so

    c = √100 = 10

    The length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 10.
