Question

The area of a right angle triangle is 40 cm square. If one of its legs measure 8cm, find the length of other leg

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle = 40 cm sq

length of one leg = 8 cm

since it is a right angled triangle the to non hypotaneous  sides are perpendicular

so ar of triangle = 1/2*base*height

= 1/2*8cm(base)*height = 40

4*height = 40

height = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2 * a * b

Given: area = 40; a = 8

So, 40 = 1/2 * 8 * b

b = 40 * 2 / 8

b =  10
