Answer ::
The area of triangle is 30cm².
Step-by-step explanation ::
To Find :-
- The area of triangle
Solution :-
Given that,
- A right-angled triangle has the largest side as 13cm and one of the sides containing the right angle 12cm
Figure :-
- Refer the attachment.
Assumption :-
Let us assume the right-angled triangle as ∆ABC,
ACCORDING THE QUESTION,
To get the area, first we need to find out the measure of AB [ the base side of ∆ ],
By applying Pythagoras theorem to ∆ABC,
AB² + BC² = AC²,
➟ AB² + 12² = 13²
➟ AB² = 13² - 12²
➟ AB² = 169 - 144
➟ AB² = 25
➟ AB = √25
➟ AB = 5
The base side of ∆ABC is 5cm.
Now, the area of triangle is,
As we know that,
Area of ∆ = 1/2 × base × height,
➟ Area = 1/2 × 5 × 12
➟ Area = 1 × 5 × 6
➟ Area = 5 × 6
➟ Area = 30
The area of ∆ is 30cm².
