Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with a right-angled triangle whose measures are:
Base =6cm
Hypotenuse =6.5cm
Using Pythagoras Theorem:
Hypotenuse
2
= Base
2
+ Perpendicular

(6.5)
2
=(6)
2
+ Perpendicular

or Perpendicular

=42.25−36=6.25
or Perpendicular =2.5cm
Now,
Area of a triangle =

×Base×Height
=

×6cm×2.5cm
=7.5cm

Here it is given that the length of the hypotenuse of a right angles triangle is 65 cm.
Also, one of its side measures 60cm
We have to find the other side
We will use the pythagoras theorem
Let the other side be x
So, 65² = 60² + x²
x² = 65² - 60²
x² = 4225 - 3600
x² = 625
x = 25
Hence, the other side will be 25 cm
