Answer:
78 cm should be the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 1/2 bh
multiply each side by 2
2A = bh
divide each side by b
2A/b =h
The height of a triangle is equal to twice the area A divided by the base ,b.
You are solving for the height. Use the formula:
c² - b² = a² in which c = hypotenuse
(13)² - (5)² = a²
Simplify
169 - 25 = a²
144 = a²
Isolate the a. Root both sides
√144 = √a²
a = √144
a = √(12 x 12)
a = 12
C) 12 feet is your answer
