Question

If the right angle triangle has the sides 5,12,13 cm find its area

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area = 1/2 * base * height

here we apply the property that that the hypotenuse is the side opposite to the biggest angle ( 90 degree ) and thus, is the largest side.

so the non-hypotenuse sides are 5 and 12

area = 1/2 * 5 * 12 = 30
