To find the missing side length in the L-shaped figure, we can use the fact that all intersecting sides meet at right angles and apply the properties of rectangles.

Let's analyze the figure step by step:

1. The total width of the bottom side is **15 ft**.
2. The top part of the shape has two segments: **5 ft** and **8 ft**.
3. The sum of these two segments should equal the bottom width. Therefore:
   \[
   5 \, \text{ft} + 8 \, \text{ft} = 13 \, \text{ft}
   \]
4. Since the bottom width is **15 ft** and the top is **13 ft**, the missing vertical side length must account for the difference:
   \[
   15 \, \text{ft} - 13 \, \text{ft} = 2 \, \text{ft}
   \]

So, the missing side length is **2 ft**.
