Question:

What will be the area of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 10 cm and base is 6 cm?

Options:

60 sq cm

24 sq cm

48 sq cm

30 sq cm

Correct Answer:

24 sq cm

Explanation:

Hypotenuse= 10cm

base = 6cm

Height=

H2 = B2 + P2

102 = 62 + P2

P = 8

Area = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × base × height

=  \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 6 × 8 = 24 cm2
