Question

Find the area of the triangle if the base is 6 cm and length of perpendicular is 10 cm.​

Answer 1

Area of any triangle is half the product of the length of a side and the length of the altitude perpendicular to that side.

In a right triangle, generally, we consider the two legs (perpendicular sides) in calculating the area. We do that only because we do not need to calculate the altitude, which in this case is the perpendicular side itself.

However, in the given case, you are giving me a side (hypotenuse 10 cm) and the length of the altitude to this side (6cm). Hence, the area becomes 0.5 * 10 * 6 = 30 square cms.

Answer 2

Answer:

$30cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle is   $\frac{1}{2} X base X height$

base   = 6cm

height = 10cm

Area =$\frac{1}{2} X base X height \\\\ 1/2 X 6 X 10\\\\3 X 10 = 30 cm^{2}$
