In the figure above QR is base, PQ is perpendicular to QR and PR is hypotenuse.
Length of PR = 20 cm (Hypotenuse)
PQ = QR
Using Pythagoras Theorem :
< (Hypotenuse)^2 = (Perpendicular)^2 + (Base)^2
< (20)^2 = (PQ)^2 + (QR)^2
[ We can take 2 PQ as both are equal]
< 400 = 2(PQ)^2
< (PQ)^2 = 400/2
< (PQ)^2 = 200
< (PQ) = √200
< PQ = 10√2
[ PQ = QR = 10√2 cm ]
We know that Area of Triangle =
◆ 1/2 × Base × Height
[ Here, Base = 10√2 cm and Height =10√2 cm ]
◆ 1/2 × 10√2 × 10√2
◆ 100cm^2

We know :
• P² + B² => H²
Values in Equation,
=> (20)² = 2(pq)²
=> 400² = 2(pq)²
=> 2(pq)² = 400
=> 2(pq) = √400
=> 2(pq) = 20
=> PQ = 10
=> QR = 10
==> Area =
