We are given a pyramid. Its base is a triangle with legs of 5 and 12 feet. The height of the pyramid is 12 feet.
The volume of a pyramid can also be calculated using a known formula.
V=1/3Bh
Here V is the volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height. The area of a right triangle equals to half of the product of the lengths of its legs adjacent to the right angle.
B = 1/2ab
Here a and b are 5 and 12. Let's find the area of the base.
