Question

Find the area of the right angled triangle with hypotenuse 40cm and on of the other two sides of 24cm

Answer 1

let that one side be base.
so, by pythagorous theorem
(prependicular)^2 = (hypotenous)^2 - (base)^2
(p)^2 = (40)^2 - (24)^2
(p)^2 = 1600-576
(p)^2 = 1024
p = 32cm

area of right angle triangle = 1/2×base×height
=1/2×24×32
=12×32
= 384cm^2

if it seems to be helpful mark me as brainliest.

Answer 2

Heya friend,

Given that

Hypotenuse = 40cm

One side = 24cm

Solution

Let base = 24cm

P^2 = H^2 - B^2

=> P^2 = (40)^2 - (24)^2

=> P^2 = 1,600 - 576

=> P^2 = 1024

=> P = √1024

=> P = 32cm


Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 24 × 32

= 384 cm^2
