Question

In the figure is a right triangle ABC with AC=10cm and AB =6cm
Determine:
1.the height AB (hint :theorem of Pythagoras
2.the area of triangular

Answer 1

Answer:

1)height = 8cm

2)area = 24sq.cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ACC.to pythagoras theorem,

ACsq=ABsq + BCsq

10sq = 6sq + BCsq

100 - 36 = BCsq

64 = BCsq

8 cm = BC

area of triangle ABC = 1/2 * base * height

= 1/2 * 6 * 8

= 24sqcm
