Question

Area of a right angled triangle is 600cm square if one of its sides containing the right angle is 40 cm find the other containing right angle​

Answer 1

Answer:

area of triangle =1/2×base×height

600= 1/2×40× height

600= 20×h

600/20= h

30= h

therefore the other side of the right angle is 30 cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the side given be it's perpendicular

area =600 cm²

perpendicular=40 cm

base =?

area of triangle =1/2 ×( base x perpendicular )

600=1/2×(base×40)

600×2 = base×40

60×2 = base ×4

120÷4 = base

30cm = base

* perpendicular = height
