Question

the area of right angle triangle is 160 cm square if its one leg is 16 cm long find the length of the another leg

Answer 1

Hey MATE!

Area of right angeled triangle is given by :

==>
$\frac{1}{2} \times height \times base$


Let the unknown side be 'x' cm
Therefore to find the unknown side :

$160 = \frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times x \\ \\ x = \frac{160 \times 2}{16} \\ \\ x = 10 \: cm$


Hope it helps
