Question

In a right-angled triangle, base is 15 cm and hypotenuse is 17cm. Find the perpendicular.​

Answer 1

Answer: 60cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

base=15cm and hypotenous=17cm then perpendicular 8

the aera of traingle = 1/2×bas

e×perpendicular

1/2×8×15=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$= \frac{1}{2} \times base \times altitude$

$Altitude = \sqrt{ {(ac)}^{2} - {(bc)}^{2} }$

$Altitude = \sqrt{( {17)}^{2} - ( {15})^{2} }$

$Altitude = \sqrt{289 - 225}$

$= \sqrt{64}$

$= 8$

$Perpendicular = 8 \: cm$
