Answer:

30 cm squared

Explanation:

This is a right angle triangle. That means that the base and height will just be the perpendicular sides of the triangle.

Our base in this case is 12 and our height is 5.

Area of a Triangle = 1/2(base)(height)

=1/2(12)(5)

=1/2(60)

=30

So, the area of this triangle is 30 cm squared.
