Question

the base of a right-angled measures 48cm and it's hypotenuse measures 50 cm. find the area of the triangle.

Answer 1

the formula of triangle is 1/2×base × height
1/2×48×50
24×50=1200 cm . square

Answer 2

By Pythagoras theorem,
H^2=B^2+P^2
50^2=48^2+p^2
2500=2304+p^2
196=p^2
√196=p
14=p

So, height is 14cm

Area=1/2*b*h
area=1/2*48*14
area=236cm
