Answer: using A= bh/2 THe height is 9.23

Step-by-step explanation: First, with the Right Angle at the bottom, usr the sides to compute the area: 12*5=60

THen Imagine the side=13 as the base, so you have b=13 for the formula

use the formula A= bh/2

60 = 13h/2 ==> 2(60) =13h --> 120/13 = h

h = 9.23
