Question

Find the area of the right triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say that the missing side is x, we can use the pythatgorean theorem to find it.

1.5^2 + x^2 = 2.5^2  =>  2.25 + x^2 = 6.25  =>  x^2 = 4  =>  x=2

The area of a triangle is hieght * base * 1/2 => 1.5 * 2 * 1/2 = 1.5

Answer 2

Answer:

the area of right angle is 1.5×2.5=3.75
