Question

The sides of a right angled triangle containing the right angle are 5x cm and (3x-1) cm. If the area of the triangle be 60cmsquare calculate the length of the sides of the triangle.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let first side be 5x cm

and another side be (3x-1)cm

area of triangle is 60sq.cm

area of triangle = 1/2 b h

60 = 1/2 (3x-1)5x

120 = 10x

x = 12 cm

so first side is 5x= 60cm

and another side is (3x-1)= 3×12-1

= 35 cm

so, 1 side is 60cm

and another side is 35cm
