The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 5, 12, and 13. What is the length of the altitude drawn to the side with length equal to 13? (Hint: Use triangle area).

 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

answer: its the third option.
