Question

Find the area of right triangle with the base 6cm and hypotenuse 10 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

24cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third side be x

Using Pythagoras theorem,

we get

x^2+36=100

x^2=64

x=8 (because x cannot be -8)

area of triangle= 1/2XbaseXheight

Here the height is 8

so the area is

1/2X8X6

=24cm^2
