Question

Find the area of a right triangle whose hypotenuse
is 17 cm and one of the sides which forms a night
angle is 8 cm

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's ur answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side be x

By Pythagoras theorem:-

(17)² = (8)²+x²

⇒x ²=225

⇒x=15

Area = ½ (base) (height)

½ (15)(8)=60cm

Final answer = 60cm

ʟᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ sɪᴅᴇ ʙᴇ x

${ \red{ʙʏ \: ᴘʏᴛʜᴀɢᴏʀᴀs \: ᴛʜᴇᴏʀᴇᴍ :-}}$

(17)² = (8)² + x²

➝ x² = 225

➝ x = 15

ᴀʀᴇᴀ ➝ ½ × base × height

➝ ½ × 15 × 8

=> 60 cm²
