Question

a square is described on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle whose other two sides are 6 m and 8 m. What is the are of the square

Answer 1

Answer:

The hypotenuse of the triangle is =sqrt(6²+8²)=10 m

Given,

Each side of the square =10m

Therefore,the area of the square is=10² sq m=100 sq m

Answer 2

Answer:

given, base of ∆ = 6m and perpendicular = 8m

so by Pythagoras theorem,

b² + p² = h²

6² + 8² = h²

36 + 64 = h²

h = √100 = 10m = side of the square

Area of the square = 10² = 100m²
