Question

5 5 12 find the area of the triangle show below

Answer 1

Answer:

$30units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 different ways to solve for area with a triangle.

Right angle triangle

$A=\frac{ab}{2} \\=\frac{5*12}{2}\\ =30units^2$

then there is the normal non right angled triangle.

$A=\frac{h_{b} b}{2} \\=\frac{12*5}{2}\\ =30units^2$

So it doesnt matter which formula you use because you still end up with the same answer
