Question

What is the area of this triangle? A= bh 2 12/13/5 is what it shows and here are the answers [A] 17 m2, [B] 30 m2, [C] 60 m2, [D] 60 m2, [E] 120 m2,

Answer 1

Assuming "A= bh 2 12/13/5 "
means
given Area=A=bh/2, and
the triangle has sides 5, 12 and 13.
(see diagram attached).

Since (5,12,13) for a Pythagoras triplet, it is a right triangle.
(13^2=12^2+5^2 => 169=144+25)
The two legs are 5 and 12, respectively b & h.
So the area of the triangle is bh/2=5*12/2=30
If the measures are in metres, then the area is 30 m^2.
