Question
- The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 cm It's hypotenuse us 25 cm. Find the area of the triangle ?
Answer
- Area = 150cm²
Given
- Perimeter = 60cm
- hypotenuse = 25cm
To Calculate
- Area of triangle __?
Explanation
Let ABC be the Given right angled triangle
Let , Base = Xcm
hypotenuse = 25cm
Perimeter = 60cm
AB+BC+AC = 60
➺ AB +x+25=60
➺ AB =35-x
By Pythagoras theorem
h²= p²+b²
➺ 25²= (35-x)²+x²
➺ 2x²-70x+600=0
➺ x²-35x+300=0
➺ x²-20x-15x+300=0
➺ x(x-20)-15(x-20)=0
➺ (x-20)(x-15)=0
x=20 or x=15
If x= 20 Then,
AB = 35-x = 35-20 = 15
BC = x = 20
➺ 1/2 × 20×15
➺ 1/2 × 300
➺ 150cm²
- Area = 150cm²
