Question

If the base of a right angled triangle is 8 cm and the hypotenuse is 17 cm. Find its
area.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 60 sq.cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(hyp)^2 = (base)^2 + (height)^2

17×17 = 64 + h^2

289 - 64 = h^2

225 = h^2

height = 15 cm

Area of the triangle = 1/2 bh

= 1/2 × 8 × 15

= 60 sq.cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of triangle = 1/2 base *height

= 1/2 x8 x 17
