Question

Certainly! Let's find the area of the triangle. The given drawing is not to scale, so we'll rely on the provided measurements.

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

Given that the base is **26 cm** and the height (which is one of the legs) is **30 cm**, we can calculate the area as follows:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 26 \times 30 \]
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 780 \]
\[ \text{Area} = 390 \text{ square centimeters} \]

Therefore, the area of the triangle is approximately **390 square centimeters**².
