What is the area, in square meters, of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 65 meters and a leg of 25 meters?
a.
1,500 m2
c.
1,950 m2
b.
8,125 m2
d.
750 m2

Answer 1

I assume lrg is base
area= 1/2 * base * height
1/2 * 25 * h
h= sqrt 65^2-25^2
h=sqrt 3600
h=60
Area therefore = 1/2 * 25 * 60
750m^2

Answer 2

Area = (1/2) base x height

have base and hypotenuse, get height from

base^2 + height^2 = hypotenuse^2
