Question

Triangle abc is right angled at a as is perpendiculat to bc, ab =5 cm, bc= 13 cm and ac= 12 cm find the area and length of ad

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC,AC as base is 12 cm

And AB as height is5cm

Area = 1/2 ×b×h

=1/2×12×5

=30 cm^2 ............ Eq1

When BC is base and AD is perpendicular

Area of triangle is 1/2×13× AD..... eq2

Now both equations are equal

Thus AS is 60/13
