1. In triangle ABC, if AB = 3cm, BC = 4cm and AC = 5cm Find
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The diagram of the triangle is shown in the attached photo
The lengths of the given triangle form a Pythagoras triple. This means that the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides.
Area = 1/2 × base × height
Height = 3 cm
Base = 4 cm
Area = 1/2 × 3 × 4 = 6 cm²
B) The altitudes can be AB or BC. Therefore, the length of the shortest altitude is AB = 3 cm
The diagonal is the same as the hypotenuse which is also the longest side of the triangle. Thus,
Length of diagonal = 5 cm
