Answer:
x = 3
Area = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the longest side is 5, it must be the hypotenuse of the triangle. And the remaining side( x and x + 1 ) must be the legs.
Using Pythagoras theorem:
⇒ 1st leg^2 + 2nd leg^2 = hypo^2
⇒ x^2 + ( x + 1 )^2 = 5^2
⇒ x^2 + x^2 + 1^2 + 2(x*1) = 25
⇒ 2x^2 + 1 + 2x = 25
⇒ 2x^2 + 2x + 1 - 25 = 0
⇒ 2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0
⇒ x^2 + x - 12 = 0
⇒ x^2 + 4x - 3x - 12 = 0
⇒ x( x + 4 ) - 3( x + 4 ) = 0
⇒ ( x + 4 )( x - 3 ) = 0
⇒ x = 3 { x ≠ -ve }
Hence,
x = 3 and other side = x + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4
Area of tri. = 1/2 of product of sides
= 1/2 * 3 * 4
= 6
✒ The three sides of a right-angled triangle are x, x+1 and 5. write down the value of x and the area, if the longest side is 5.
➡ Option D. ( 3 , 6 )
Given :-
The three sides of a right-angled triangle are x, x+1 and 5. The area, if the longest side is 5
To Find :-
The value of x
Calculation :-
According to the question, By pythagoreas theorem,
(x + 1)² + x² = 5²
opening
(x + 1)² = x² + 1 + 2x
therefore
x² + 1 + 2x + x²= 25
2 x² + 2x = 24
2( x² + x) = 24
x² + x = 12
x² + x - 12 = 0
x²+ 4x - 3x - 12 = 0
x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) = 0
(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0
either x=3 or x=-4
but side cannot be negative therefore x=3
hence, other side = - 4
Area=1/2×4×3
=2×3
=6 cm²
Hence, area = 6sq cm
