Question

find the area of right triangular scarf whose base is 1.2m and hypotenus is 3.7m

Answer 1

By pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse ^2 = Base ^2 + Perpendicular ^2

3.7 ^2 = 1. 2^2 + P^2

13.69 = 1.44 + P^2

P^2 = 13.69 - 1.44 = 12.25

P = 3.5 m

Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

=> 1 / 2 × 1.2 × 3.5

=> 0.6 × 3.5 = 2. 1 m^2
