Answer 1

The area of this triangle is 72 cm².

Explanation:

We know all 3 lengths of this triangle (12, 12, 17), but all we need to answer this question is sides a and b (12, and 12).

The formula to find the area of a triangle is A = bh/2. Substitute b and h for 12 and 12 respectively.

A = (12 * 12)/2

A = 144/2

A = 72 cm²

The area of the triangle is 72 cm².
