The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 cm and its hypotenuse is 26 cm. What is the area (in cm2) of the triangle? |
60 96 90 120 |
120 |
We know a triplet = 10, 24, 26 And the perimeter of the triangle = 60 and we can see that the sum of the sides = 10 + 24 + 26 = 60 So, Base length= 10cm or 24cm And perpendicular length = 24cm or 10cm Now area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 10 × 24 = 120 cm2 |
