Answer 2

Answer:

The area is 84 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that;

Area of right angle triangle = 1/2 × base × height (perpendicular)

And

According to Pythagoras theorem :

H² = P² + B²

Here,

Base (B) = 24 cm

Hypotenuse (H) = 25 cm

Now,

According to Pythagoras theorem....

P² = H² - B²

=> P = √ (H² - B²)

=> P = √ (25² - 24² )

=> P = √ (625 - 576)

=> P = √ 49

=> Perpendicular = 7 cm

Now,

Area = 1/2 × B × P

= 1/2 × 24 × 7

= 84 cm² Answer
