Question

Find the area of the right-angled triangle with hypotenuse 2 more than its height cm and
base is 2 less than its heigh

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x=height

Therefore, Hypotenuse=x+2

Base=x-2

Therefore area =1/2 × base×height

=1/2×(x-2)(x+2)

=1/2(x²-4)

=(x²-4)/2

Therefore area is (x²-4)/2
