Question

the base of right angle triangle is 5m and hypotenuse is 13m find its area

Answer 1

Hi

Base = 5m

Hypotenuse = 13 m

We have to find the height.

Since it is right angle triangle

We can use pythogoros theoram

5 square + b = 13 square

25 +b square = 169

B square = 144

B= √144

=12 m

Now,

Area of triangle == h×b/2

12*5/2

= 30 m

Hope it helps u
