find the area of a right angled triangle if it's base is 24 centimetre and perpendicular 7 centimetres
Answers
Given :-
Base of the Triangle = 24 cm
Perpendicular = 7 cm
Have to find :-
Area of the Triangle = ?
Diagram :-
Solution :-
Method - 1
As it is a right angle triangle
So,
The area of Triangle = ½ × Base × Height
As from given :-
Base ↬ 24
Height = Perpendicular ↬ 7
Putting up the values in the above formula :-
_______________________
Method - 2
Let's find out the hypotenese .
We know the Pythagoras Theorem
(Hypotense)² = (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²
(Hypotense)² = (7)² + (24)²
(Hypotense)² = 49 + 576
(Hypotense)² = 625
(Hypotense) = √625
(Hypotense) = 25 cm.
We got
➤ a = 24 cm
➤ b = 7 cm
➤ c = 25 cm
Now,
Applying the Heron's Formula

Find the area of a right angled triangle if it's base is 24 cm and perpendicular 7 cm.
➡Area of triangle is 84cm²
- Perpendicular of triangle = 7cm
- Base of triangle = 24cm
- Area of Triangle
Pythagorous Theorem =
Heron's Formula =
In this question, first we will find Third side using Pythagorous Theorem then area of Triangle by Heron's Formula.
Area of Triangle,
Let
a = 24cm
b = 7cm
c = 25cm
Semi perimeter (s)
= 24 + 7 + 25/ 2
= 56/2
= 28cm
