    Melissa and her younger sister are 5 meters apart.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    They form a right triangle,

    Height = her older brother 12 meters directly ahead of her. Base = her younger sister directly to her right. Hypotenuse = Melissa's brother and sister are 13 meters apart.

    From the Pythagorean Triplets (5,12,13):

    The shortest side is the base of the right triangle.

    Therefore, Base = 5 meters.

    Melissa and her younger sister are 5 meters apart.
