Question

The area of a right-angled triangle is 160 cm. If its one leg is 16 cm long, find the length of the other leg.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the another side/leg is 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a right-angled triangle is 160 cm.

If its one leg/side is 16 cm long

To Find:

the length of the other leg/side

Calculation:

Let, the length of the another side = s cm

Area of the Right Angled Triangle = 1/2 x height x base

Area of the triangle = (1/2 x 16 x s) sq cm= 8s sq cm

so,

8s = 160

or, s = 20

Length of the another leg/side is 20 cm (ans.)
