Question

in the right angle triangle, the sides containing the right angle, one side exceeds the other by 4 cm. if area of the triangle is 96 cm square, find the perimeter of the triangle.

Answer 1

let the sides be x and x-4
1/2 × x ×( x-4) = 96
1/2 × (x square-4x) = 96
x square - 4x - 192 = 0
x=16 cm
sides = 16 and 12 cm

Answer 2

perimeter of traingle is 48 cm
