Logistics Reporting: Consolidating Radical Measurements

You are preparing a technical cargo manifest for a shipment of specialized alloys. The weights of the three individual containers are recorded as 5135\sqrt{13} kg, 4134\sqrt{13} kg, and 2132\sqrt{13} kg. Describe the mathematical process used to consolidate these three measurements into a single simplified term. In your explanation, identify the specific characteristic these terms share that allows them to be added, state the rule for combining them, and provide the final simplified total weight for the manifest.
