Question

.AXYZ is a right triangle with ZY = 90° XY = 3 cm; YZ = 4 cm and XZ = 5 cm. Find the
area of the triangle. Also find the distance between Y and XZ.​

Answer 1

Area =(1/2)×base×height

Let us take base as YZ=4 cm then the height is XY=3 cm

Area=(1/2)×(4cm)×(3cm)

Area=6cmsquare

When we take base as XZ=5cm then the height will become the distance between Y and XZ.

6cm=(1/2)×(5cm)×(distance between Y and XZ)

THEREFORE distance between Y and XZ is 12/5
