Question

Find the area of a right triangle in which the perpendicular sides are 5cm and
6cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Now, if any two sides and the angle between them are given, then the formulas to calculate the area of a triangle is given by:

Area (∆ABC) = ½ bc sin A

Area (∆ABC) = ½ ab sin C

Area (∆ABC) = ½ ca sin B

These formulas are very easy to remember and also to calculate.

For example, If, in ∆ABC,  A = 30° and b = 2, c = 4 in units. Then the area will be;

Area (∆ABC) = ½ bc sin A

= ½ (2) (4) sin 30

= 4 x ½   (since sin 30 = ½)

= 2 sq.unit.
