Answer:
[tex]30units^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 different ways to solve for area with a triangle.
Right angle triangle
[tex]A=\frac{ab}{2} \\=\frac{5*12}{2}\\ =30units^2[/tex]
then there is the normal non right angled triangle.
[tex]A=\frac{h_{b} b}{2} \\=\frac{12*5}{2}\\ =30units^2[/tex]
So it doesnt matter which formula you use because you still end up with the same answer
