find the area of these triangles using correct formulae
Answers
★ Concept:-
Here in this question, concept of Pythagoras theorem is used
We are given a triangle whose hypotenuse and height are given and we are asked to find its area. To find its area it is necessary to find height of triangle so that we can apply formula for area of triangle.
_______________________________
★ Given:-
• Hypotenuse=25cm²
• Height=9cm
_______________________________
★ To find:-
• Area of triangle
_______________________________
★ Solution:-
Applying Pythagoras theorem in the given triangle:
Hypotenuse²=Base²+Perpendicular²
⇒ (25cm)²=Base²+(9cm)²
⇒ 625cm²=Base²+81cm²
⇒ 625cm²-81cm²=base²
⇒ 544cm²=Base²
⇒ √544cm²=Base
⇒ 23.3cm=Base
_______________________________
Now applying formula for area:
Area of Triangle=½×Base×Height
Area of triangle=½×23.3cm×9cm
Area of triangle=104.85cm²
So the required area of triangle is 104.85cm².
_______________________________
Length of the another side = √ 25² - 9²
= √ 625 - 81
= √ 544 unit
Area of triangle = ½bh = ½(9)(√544)
= ½ 9 (4 √34)
= 18 √34 = 104.957 unit ²
