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
