Answer:

[tex]Height = 12cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The height of the base

To do this, we make use of Pythagoras theorem where:

[tex]Sides^2 = (Base/2)^2 + Height^2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]13^2 = (10/2)^2 + Height^2[/tex]

[tex]13^2 = 5^2 + Height^2[/tex]

[tex]169 = 25 + Height^2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]Height^2 = 169 - 25[/tex]

[tex]Height^2 = 144[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]Height = 12cm[/tex]
