Question

the area of a right triangle is 60cmsquare and its smallest side is 8cm what is its hypotenuse​

Answer 1

Answer: H=17cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let side 8cm be base of triangle.

Area of triangle is 1/2×b×h

60=1/2×8×h

h=15cm or p= 15cm

Pythagoras theorem

H^2 = b^2+p^2

H^2= 64+225

H^2=289

H=√289

H=17cm
