Question

the base of right angle triangle is 16 cm and its hypotenuse is 34 cm. find the area of triangle ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem:

Hyp²=base²+height²

34²=16²+h²

1156-256=h²

√900=h

30cm=h

Area of triangle=½bh

=½(30)(16)

=15(16)

=240cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

Lets draw the triangle......................(given in the file attached below)

Base(BC) is 16 cm.

Hypotenuse(AC) is 34 cm.

Height(AB)=?

We know that Pythagoras theorem:

Base²+height²=hypotenuse²

AB²+BC²=AC²

AB²+16²=34²

AB²=34²-16²

AB²=1156-256

AB²=900.

AB=√900............................ when u transpose square , it become square root.

AB=30cm.

∴Height=30cm.

Area= (1/2)×base×heigth.

Areaa=(1/2)×16×30

Multiplying 16×30,we get

480/2.

Dividing 480 and 2, we get:

Area=240cm²
