Question

The base and hypotenuse of a right triangle are respectively 5 cm and 12 cm. Find its area.

Answer 1

Answer :

Given : -

Base = 5 cm

Hypotenuse = 12 cm

So, Altitude = $\sqrt{Hypotenuse^{2}-Base^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{12^{2} -5^{2} } = \sqrt{144-25} =\sqrt{119}$

Area of a Right angled Triangle = $\frac{1}{2} *Base * Altitude$

$= \frac{5*\sqrt{119}}{2} = \frac{10.9*5}{2}$

= 27.25 cm²
