Question

find the area of the right angled trianglewith hypotenuse 40 cm and one of the other two sides24 cm

Answer 1

hypotenuse _40 first side _x second side = 24-x

Answer 2

c=40 cms
a=24 cms
$\sqrt{ {c}^{2} - {a }^{2} } = b$
find b, then use the formula
Area=1/2 * base * height
=1/2 * a * b

I would be glad if you mark this as the best answer
