Question

Area of right angled triangle ABC is 16 sq cm. Find
the length of AB and BC, if one leg of triangle is
twice of the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the one leg of triangle be x

Let the other leg of triangle be 2x

Area of triangle =16 sq cm

ATQ

1/2*x*2x. =16

1/2*2x sq =16

2x sq/2. =16

x sq. =16

Comparing Both Sides

x =4

Therefore,first leg =x =4

second leg =2x =8
