Question

The perimeter of a right-angled triangle is 96 cm.

The lengths of its sides are in the ratio 6:8:10
Work out the area of the triangle in cm^2?.​

Answer 1

24 cm squared

Explanation:

Area (Δ) =
`(bxh)/(2)` = (6 x 8) /2

A = 48/2

A = 24

The longest side of this right-angled triangle would be 10 and not needed in calculating the area.
