Question

Find the area of the right triangle

Answer 1

the area of right angle is 1.5×2.5=3.75

Answer 2

1.5 units^2

Explanation:

If we say that the missing side is x, we can use the pythatgorean theorem to find it.

1.5^2 + x^2 = 2.5^2 => 2.25 + x^2 = 6.25 => x^2 = 4 => x=2

The area of a triangle is hieght * base * 1/2 => 1.5 * 2 * 1/2 = 1.5
