Question 15824: find the area of a right triangle whose legs measure 5 and 12

The formula for the area of a triangle is bh/2.
Here we know that the two leg measurements are 5 and 12 units.
So since this is a right triangle, we know that 5 is height and 12 is the base or 12 is the base and 5 is the height.
SA= (5*12)/2
SA= 30 units^2
