Question

Find the area of a right angled triangle with hypotenuse 26 cm and a side of length 24 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

120 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the other side be 'x'.

       Using Pythagoras  theorem:

⇒ 24² + x² = 26²

⇒ 576 + x² = 676

⇒ x² = 676 - 576

⇒ x² = 100

⇒ x = 10

      As we know,

Area of right-angled triangle is

                  = 1/2 * height * base

                  = 1/2 * 24 * 10

                  = 120 cm²

Area of the triangle is 120 cm²
