Hey...!!!

Hypotenuse = 10 cm
Base = 6 cm
So,
Hypotenuse square = base square + height square
=> 10 square = 6 square + H square
=> 100 = 36 + H square
=> H square = 100 - 36
=> H Square = 64
=> H = 64 under root
=> Height = 8

So, height = 8 cm
So,
Area = 1/2 x B x H
= (1/2 x 6 x 8) cm square
= 24 cm square

Hope it helps...!!!

soumya771: ur answer is wromg because hypotenuse is given not the height. so at first find the height using Pythagoras theorem.Then calculate the area using½xbasexheight
Aastha077: yaa... now my answer is correct
