We know that 

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height

Now,

When base = 5 cm and height = 12 cm 

Then, the area is equal to

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 12 = 30 \ cm^2

Now, 

When base = 13 cm and height = AD area remain same 

Therefore,

\Rightarrow 30= \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \times AD

\Rightarrow AD = \frac{60}{13} \ cm 

Therefore, value of AD is  \frac{60}{13} \ cm  and the area is equal to 30 \ cm^2
