Question

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

Answer 1

Right angled triangle

Solve for area

A=60cm²

a Leg

8

cm

c Hypotenuse

17

cm

Answer 2

Answer: 60 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem,

17^2=8^2+x^2

17^2-8^2=x^2

289-64=x^2

225=x^2

x= √225

x=15.

Area of a triangle=1/2*base*height.

=1/2*8*15

=4*15

Area of the triangle =60.

Therefore it is 60.
