Question

a field is the form of a right triangle with hypotenuse 50m and one side 30 M find the area of the field

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle is = base × hight ÷ 1/2

= 30 × 40 ÷ 1/2

= 600 M

We find 40 m by Pythagoras therom

Answer 2

Given

A right angle with hypotenuse = 50 cm

one side = 30 m

By Pythagoras Theroem

Hy2 = adj2 + opp2

( 50 )2 = ( 30 )2 + opp2

2500 = 900 + opp2

2500 - 900 = opp2

1600 = opp2

( 40 )2 = opp2

cancel squares on both sides

opp = 40

Area of the field ( triangle ) ===> 1/2 × b × h

===> 1/2 × 30 × 40

===> 1/2 × 1200

===> 600 m2


Area of the field is 600 m2
