Answer:
Let
A= 13cm
B= 13cm
C= 10cm
Now, perimeter of the triangle= (13+13+10)cm
=> perimeter of the triangle= 36cm
Therefore, semi perimeter of the triangle= 36/2 cm
=> s= 18 cm
Now, by HERON'S FORMULA,
ar(triangle)= √[s(s-A)(s-B)(s-C)]
=>ar(triangle)= √[18(18-13)(18-13)(18-10)]
=>ar(triangle)= √[18×5×5×8 × cm⁴]
=>ar(triangle)= √3600cm⁴
=>ar(triangle)= 60cm²----(a)
Now, let the altitude on side C= 10cm be "X"
ar(triangle)= 1/2 × 10cm × X { taking the side with 10cm as base }
=> 60cm²= 5Xcm {from (a)}
=>X= (60cm²)/(5cm)
=>X= 12cm
THEREFORE X= 12cm (WHICH IS THE REQUIRED ALTITUDE)
AND THE AREA OF THE TRAINGLE IS *60CM²*!!!
