By hypotenuse theorem H2 = B2+P2
5*5 = 4*4 +P2
25 = 16 +P2
P2 = 25-16
P2 = 9
perpendicular =3 =height
by
1/2 * base * height
1/2 * 4*3
2*3 =6cm

ckaurmomi123: wrong ans
ckaurmomi123: first you have to find its height the height is not given and without the height you cannot calculate the area the hypotenuse and base is given of the right angle triangle
awasthiarjun3771: now see my answer I've corrected my answer

Area of right angle triangle = 1/2 ×b ×h
B=base
H=height
Height is the other side.....

According to the hypotenuse Theorem,
 {c}^{2} - {b }^{2} = {a}^{2}
Where, a= height, b= base and c= hypotenuse
 {5}^{2} - {4}^{2} = 25 - 16 = 9
 {a}^{2} = 9
a = \sqrt[2]{9}
 \sqrt[2]{9} = 3.0
3

H=3

1/2 × 4 × 3= 6

So, the area of the triangle = 6 m^2

HOPE it helps you
