Question

The area of triangle whose base is 3 cm is 6 cm² find the other two sides of the right triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of other two sides are 4 cm and 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the other two sides of the right triangle whose area is  6 cm²  and base is 3 cm.

Area of a triangle = (1/2) × base × height

6 = (1/2) × 3 × height

height = (6 × 2) / 3 = 4 cm.

Now the triangle is right angled. So, the third side will be hypotenuse.

By using pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

Hypotenuse² = 3² + 4²

Hypotenuse² = 9 + 16 = 25

Hypotenuse = √25 = 5

Hypotenuse = 5 cm.

So, the length of other two sides are 4 cm and 5 cm
