Question

The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 65 cm and its base is 60 cm. Find the length of perpendicular and the area of the triangle.

Answer 1

Hypotenuse = 65 cm

Base = 60 cm

In a right angled triangle,

Area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\times base \times perpendicular\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\times 60\times 25\)

= 750 cm²
