Question

Calculate the area of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 65 m and
one side is 16 cm

​

Answer 1

Answer:

504cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem,

h^2=p^2+b^2

65^2=p^2+16^2

4225-256=p^2

3969=p^2

p=63cm (height)

Let base be 16cm

area of a triangle =1/2× base×height

A=1/2×16× 63

A=504cm^2
