Question

If 15, 17,25 are the lengths (not necessarily in order) of two sides of a triangle and the altitude to
the third side, the area of the triangle ​

Answer 1

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that altitude has to be smaller than its two other side

So the altitude should be 15 and the first two sides are 17 and 25

So $BD^{2} + 15^{2} = 17^2$ and $DC^2 + 15^2 = 25^2$

So BD = 8 and DC = 20

So BC = 20 + 8 = 28

So $Area=\frac{1}{2}AD*BC$

So Area = 210
