Question

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 8 cm, 15 cm and 17 cm. Perpendicular length from the
opposite vertex to the side whose length is 17 cm is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of triangle is 1/2×base×height

1/2×8×15

4×15

60cm^2

Answer 2

Answer:

8,15,17. is a Pythagorean triplate. so this is a right angled triangle.

area=

$1 \div 2 \times base \times height$

1. take 15 as height

=1/2×8×15=60

2. take height as 17 and the perpendicular side to this be £

area=1/2×17×perpendicular to the side

60=1/2×17×£

£=60×2/17

£ =120/17= 7.058
