Question

The Area of right angle triangle is equal to the area of triangle whose base is 14cm and altitude is 8cm. if one side forming right angle is 7 cm find the length of the other side
with full explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the second triangle = (base * height) / 2

Area of the second triangle = (14 * 8) / 2 = 112/2= 56 cm2.    

now the area of the right angled triangle = area of the second triangle

(base * height) / 2 = 56

(7 * height) / 2 = 56.      [ here we can take height = 7 instead of base]

7 * height = 112

height = 112 / 7

height = 16 cm
