and you need to find ''x"
?
use pythagoras theorem, know what that is ?
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
8 cm?
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
I got to fins "x" the length of the sides and its area
x = 8cm
sides = 24cm,23cm,7cm
area = 276 cm^2
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
find*
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
I'm right?

hartnn (hartnn):
how did you get the area?
sides are correct
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
Area = bh/2??
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
Area = base*height/2?
hartnn (hartnn):
b and h are 23 and 7, right ?
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
Wit.I'll draw the diagram as well

hartnn (hartnn):
isn't it 3x+1 ?
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
Typo sorry
hartnn (hartnn):
so 3x+1 would be the hypotenuse, because its the greatest
and 3x will be the leg
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
I calculated it again this time I got 94cm^2
hartnn (hartnn):
ooh, just realized the sides are wrong....
x= 8
so sides will be
7,24,25

So,The area is 94 cm^2?
hartnn (hartnn):
Area = 24*7/2 = 84 cm^2
how you got 94? :P
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
typos X_X
hartnn (hartnn):
LOL
OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):
side are 25,24,7 then hypotenuse is 25 and other are legs area=(base*height)/2
