Question

A right triangle has legs of length 10 feet and 13 feet. What is the area of the triangle?

A) 65 ft^2

B)100 ft^2

C) 130 ft^2

D) 150 ft^2

Answer 1

Option A.
`65\ ft^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle the legs are perpendicular

so

the area is equal to multiply the two legs and divide by two

`A=(1)/(2)(10)(13)=65\ ft^(2)`
