1. Answer:

   30cm^2

   Step-by-step explanation:

   By Pythagoras theorem

   5^2 + x^2 =13^2

   on solving , remaining side =12cm

   applying Heron’s formula.

   area = √{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

   s=(5+12+13)/2=15

   so area=√15*10*3*2

   =√3*5*5*2*3*2

   =√3*3*5*5*2*2

   =3*5*2

   =30cm^2
