Perimeter of triangle
= 60 cm
Also,
Length of hypotenuse
= 25 cm
Assume
Other sides = x and y
(Hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (height)²
(25)² = x² + y²
Also
Perimeter of triangle = 60 (Given)
x + y + Hypotenuse = 60
x + y + 25 = 60
x + y = 60 - 25
x + y = 35 cm
Now
(x + y)² = (35)²
x² + y² + 2xy = 1225 cm²
Hence,
(25)² + 2xy = 1225
625 + 2xy = 1225
2xy = 1225 - 625
2xy = 600
xy = 300 cm²
Now,
Therefore,
Area of this triangle
= 150 cm²
