Question

Find the area of a right triangle if its base is 40 cm and the hypotenuse is 41cm sq

Answer 1

Right angled triangle

Solve for area

A=180cm²

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

base = 40cm

hypotenuse = 41cm

by using Pythagoras theorem

h²= p²+b²

=>41²= p²+ 40²

1=>681= p² + 1600

=>1681 - 1600 =p²

=>81= p²

=>9= p

area of right triangle = 1/2 × b × h

=>1/2×40×9

=>20×9

=> 180 cm²
