find the area of triangles ABC in which angle B =60degree, angleC =90degree, AB=20cm and AC = 5cm
Answers
[NOTE : refer the given figure in the attachment ]
Answer
Area of triangle ABC is
Given
IN a given triangle ABC,
⚫angle ACB = 90 degree
⚫angle ABC =60 degree
⚫side AB = 20 cm
⚫side AC =5 cm
Explanation
As a given,
In a triangle ABC
angle ACB=90 degree
therefor it is a right angle triangle
⚫
therefor by Pythagoras theorem
(hypotenuse )^2 =
=(1st side)^2 +(2nd side) ^2
(AB) ^2 =(AC) ^2 + (BC) ^2
[side opposite to 90 degree angle is hypotenuse, so the side AB Is a hypotenuse ]
(20)^2 = (5)^2 + (BC) ^2
400 = 25 + (BC) ^2
400-25 = (BC) ^2
(√375)= BC
19.35 = BC
Therefor,
In a triangle ABC,
base = sideBC=19.35cm
height=sideAC=5cm
Area of triangle =
Area of triangle = =1/2 X base X height
=1/2 X 19.35 X 5
= 2.5 x 19.35
=48.375 cm^2
therefor the Area of triangle ABC is
