Question

The base of a right triangle is 8cm and hypotenuse is 10cm its area will be ....cm^2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the right triangle be 'x'

Using pythagorous theorem,

${x}^{2} + {8}^{2} = {10}^{2} \\ {x }^{2} = 100 - 64 \\ x = \sqrt{36} \\ x = 6cm$

$area \: of \: triangle \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times base \: \times height \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 \\ = 4 \times 6 \\ = 24 \: {cm}^{2}$
