find area by heron's formula first
a=15cm b=20cm c=25cm
s=(a+b+c)/2=(15+20+25)/2=30
area, A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
A=√30(30-15)(30-20)(30-25)
A=√ 30*15*10*5=150cm²
also , area of triangle, A= (1/2)*base*height
c=25 cm is greatest side
let, corresponding height be h
A= (1/2)*25*h
150=(1/2)*25*h
300=25h
h=12cm
a=15cm b=20cm c=25cm
s=(a+b+c)/2=(15+20+25)/2=30
area, A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
A=√30(30-15)(30-20)(30-25)
A=√ 30*15*10*5=150cm²
also , area of triangle, A= (1/2)*base*height
c=25 cm is greatest side

A= (1/2)*25*h

300=25h
h=12cm
