The perimeter of a right-angle triangle is 96cm. the lengths of its sides are in the ratio 6:8:10. work out the area of the triangle in cm^2 |
|
Answer» Let the sides be 6x, 8x, 10x Perimeter of triangle = 96 6x + 8x + 10x = 96 24x = 96 x = 4 cm so sides become 24, 32, 40 cm Area of triangle = 1/2 × 24 × 32 = 12 × 32 =384 cm^2 |
