Question

the perimeter of a right angled triangle is 60 cm and its area is 120cm².find the lengths of the triangle.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of triangle given as 120 cm2

Area of Triangle = 1/2 x b x h = 120

therefore bxh = 240

240 can be factorized as 10 x 24

The perimeter of the triangle is given as 60

so the other side has to be 26 cm

As this is a right angle triangle it should satisfy pythagoras theorem

(10)2 + (24)2 = (26)2

100+576 =676

Hence the sides of the triangle are 10 cm, 24 cm and 26 cm
