Tam giác ABC vuông tại A
\(\Rightarrow AH^2=BH\cdot HC\)
\(\Leftrightarrow AH^2=\left(BC-HC\right)\cdot HC\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(25-HC\right)\cdot HC=12^2\)
\(\Leftrightarrow HC^2-25HC+144=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}HC=9\\HC=16\end{matrix}\right.\)(t/m)
b)
\(S_{ABC}=AH\cdot BC\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}=150\left(cm^2\right)\)
