What is the area of a right triangle with side lengths of 12 cm 16 cm and 20 cm

A = (1/2)(16 cm)(12 cm) = 96 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is a right triangle, we know that the leg lengths are 12 cm and 16 cm respectively, and that these legs are at right angles to one another.

We can assume that the base of this triangle is 16 cm and that the height is 12 cm.  Then, according to the area-of-a-triangle formula, A = (1/2)(base)(height), the area of this particular triangle is

A = (1/2)(16 cm)(12 cm) = 96 cm^2.

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
