Question

Find the area of the triangle.
thanks in advance

Answer 1

USE:

a^2+b^2=c^2 for the height.
\[A=1/2 \times b \times h\]

Answer 2

but i have the base and the hypotenuse i dont have the hight

Answer 3

\[c^2-a^2=b^2\]\[h=\sqrt{25^2-15^2}=20\]

Answer 4

\[A= 1/2 \times 20 \times 15\]

Answer 5

so the area is 150?

Answer 6

@cwright150 \[h^2+15^2=25^2\]\[h^2+225=625\]\[h^2=400\]\[h=20\]YEs, A=150
