Question

The base of a right angled triangle is 5cm and hypotenuse is 13cm. Find its area.

hintHint:

Use Pythagoras theorem

The correct answer is: 30 cm2


    It is given that base, B = 5 cm and hypotenuse, H = 13 cm
    Using Pythagoras theorem
    H2 = B2 + P2
    132 = 52 + P2
    169 – 25 = P2  ⇒ P2 = 144
    ⇒  P = 12 cm
    Area of triangle = 1 half cross times b cross times straight h equals 1 half cross times 5 cross times 12
    = 30 cm2
