Question

area of right triangle is 24 sq.mratio of its perpendicular sides is 3:4Find the length of sides

Answer 1

given sides are in the ratio of 3:4

Hence the sides be 3x,4x

Area of right triangle is (1/2)(3x)(4x)=24 m

from this we get x=2 m

Hence sides are 3(2),4(2)

                         =>6,8 are the two sides of triangle(perpendicular sides)

length of hypoteneous = √(6²+8²)

=>length of hypoteneous is 10

Hence lengths of sides of triangle are 6,8,10m
