the perimeter of a right triangle is 24m. its hypotenuse is 10m. the area of the triangle is
Answers
Step-by-step explanation
Let the side be a and b
sum of all side =perimeter
a+b+h=24
a+b+14=24
a+b=14
a=14-b
Now apply Pythagor theorem
(h)^2=(a)^2+(b)^2
(10)^2=(14-b)^2+(b)^2
100=196+b^2-28b+b^2
-96=2b^2-28b
2b^2-28b+96=0
2b^2-16b-12b+96
2b(b-8)-12(b-8)
(2b-12)(b-8)
b=6,,b=8
Now we take b=8then
a=14-8
a=6
area of triangle=1/2×b×h
1/2×6×10
1/2×60

Given: Perimeter of triangle is 24 m
hypotenuse is 10 m .
To find: area of triangle ?
Solution:
Let hypotenuse is a
base =b
perpendicular= c
perimeter of triangle is a+b+c
put value of a, we get
10+ b+c=24
b+c=14
b =14 - c
apply PGT in right angle triangle
a square= b square+ c square
100+ 2cb= 196
2cb =96
cb =48
area of triangle = 1/2 ×base × height
= 1/2× 48
= 28
area of triangle= 28 sq m
Oh it takes more time to solve.
sorry for that ...
hope this will help you...
