Answer:

Area = 127.5cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of first side = 8 cm

Length of second side = 15 cm

Length of third side = 17cm

To find,

Area of triangle

to find which of the sides is hypotenuse use Pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse² = height² + base²

17² = 8² + 15²

289 = 289

hence 17 is the hypotenuse and other two are height and base

<h2>Area of triangle = 1/2 height * base</h2>

Area of triangle = 1/2 15 * 17

Area of triangle = 1/2 (255)

Area of triangle = 127.5

The endpoints of the longest chord on a circle are (4, 5.5) and (4, 10.5).
In-s [12.5K]
The longest chord on the circle is the diameter, and the center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

Use the midpoint formula to find the center
((x1 +x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2).. Just substitute them for the solution


the x-coordinates are the same, so you can just subtract the y-coordinates to find the radius. 
10.5 - 8 = 2.5

The equation of the circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where r is the radius and (h, k) is the center.

(x - 4)² + (y - 8)² = 6.25
