Correct Answer: 30 cm 2
Solution : Area of right-angled triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{Base}\times\text{Height}$ Given, Base = 12 cm and Hypotenuse = 13 cm Let the perpendicular be $p$. Using Pythagoras theorem, $\small\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2+\text{Perpendicular}^2$ ⇒ $13^2=12^2+p^2$ ⇒ $169=144+p^2$ ⇒ $p^2=25$ ⇒ $p=5$ cm $\therefore$ Area $= \frac{1}{2}\times 12\times 5=6\times 5 = 30$ cm$^2$ Hence, the correct answer is 30 cm$^2$.
