Question

The legs of a right triangle are in the ratio 3:4 and its area 600cm2.find the length of its legs

Answer 1

Let the legs(base & height) be 3x &4x

Area=½bh=600cm²
=½×3x×4x= 600
=6x²=600
so x=10

Hence the legs are 30cm & 40cm long

Answer 2

Answer:

=40

step by step expression:

Given that Area of right triangle = 600cm^2. x = 10. length of one leg = 3 * 10 = 30. Length of another leg = 4 * 10 = 40
