Question

The base of a right triangle is 48 cm and its hypotenuse is 50 cm. The area of  is

(a) 168cm2 (b) 252 cm2 (c)336 cm2 (d) None​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

height =√50²-48²==√196=14cm.

so, area =1/2*base*height

=1/2*48*14

=336 cm²

hope it will help you.

please mark me as brainliest answer.

Answer 2

${\huge {\underline {\mathfrak {\orange {Answer}}}}}$

Given :-

• Base = 48 cm
• Hypotenuse = 50 cm

Find :-

• The area of triangle = ?

Solution :-

As we know,

Area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h

Now,

Find its height

Let the height be x

${h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

${50}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {48}^{2}$

$196= {x}^{2}$

$\sqrt {196}= x$

14= h

Height = 14

Putting values in formula

= 1/2 × 48 × 14

= 48 × 7

= 336

Therefore option c)336 cm
