Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Hypotenus = 13cm
Base = 5cm
=> Altitude² = H² - B²
=> Altitude = 169 - 25
=> Altitude = 12cm
Area = 1/2 x B x H
= 1/2 x 12 x 5
= 30cm²

hypotenuse=13cm
base=5
therefore, by paythagoras theorem,
height=12cm
area of triangle=1/2*b*h
=1/2*5*12
therefore, area of triangle=30cm^2
I hope that this helps you
