Question

Find the area of a right triangle having base = 24 cm and hypotenuse25 ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras thorium

(base) ^2 + ( height) ^ 2 = (hypothenouse )^2

(24)^2 + ( h)^ 2 = (25)^2

576 +( h) ^2 = 625

(height) ^2= 625-576

( height)^2 = 49

height =√49

height =7

area of triangle = (1/2)*base*height

= 1/2 *24*7

=1/2*168

=84 sq
