Question

given a right-angled triangle with area 30 square centimeters and one of the legs of the right-angled triangle has 5cm, of the sum of the altitudes of the triangle can be expressed as a/b where gcd(a,b)=1. find a+b.geometry

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

If A = 30 = 1/2ab = 1/2(5)(b)

60 = 5b

b = 12

a/b = 5/12

a + b = 5 + 12 = 17

Answer 2

See explanation

Explanation:

If A = 30 = 1/2ab = 1/2(5)(b)

60 = 5b

b = 12

a/b = 5/12

a + b = 5 + 12 = 17
