Question

The area of a right triangle is 336 cm². The base of the right triangle is 48 cm.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle?
Enter your answer in the box.
cm

Answer 1

Area of a triangle=1/2*b*h
where area is given
336=1/2*48*h
h =336*2/48
h=14 cm

now b=48 cm,h=14 cm

so by phythgorean theorm
(hy)^2=(base)^2+(h)^2
hy= √(196+2304)

Hypotenuse=50cm
