One leg of a right triangle is 2 inches and the hypotenuse is 6 inches.

Find the area of the triangle.

_$\sqrt{x}$

Answer 1

We can see that the area of the triangle is: 5.65in².

What is a triangle?

A triangle is actually known to be a shape that has three sides, three angles and three vertices. It's also known as a plane shape.

In order to find the area of the triangle, we will use Pythagorean Theorem: c² = a² + b².

Where c = hypotenuse = 6in.

b = 2in.

6² = a² + 2²

36 = a² + 4

a² = 36 - 4 = 32

a = √32

Area of the triangle = ½ × base × height.

Where base = √32

height = 2

Thus: A = ½ × √32 × 2

A = √32 = 5.65in².
