I got yo back, bro!
A'ight listen up, to find the area of a triangle you gotta use the formula:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Now for this tri you was askin' about:
- The longest side is 30 cm, so that's your base
- To find the height, you use the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where a and b are the other two sides
So: 26^2 + 28^2 = height^2
26^2 is 676
28^2 is 784
676 + 784 is 1460
Take the square root of that and you get height = 38 cm
Now plug it into the area formula:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
= 1/2 x 30 x 38
= 570 cm^2
Boom, there's your area fam! Easy once you know the moves. Hit me up if any other maths got you confused, I got all the formulas on lock.
