Chapter SH, Problem 11.3E

To determine

Find the area of the given right angle triangle.

Answer to Problem 11.3E

The area of the given triangle is ${\text{24 cm}}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given right angle triangle is

  

Calculation:

Area of the right angle triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{perpendicular}$

In the given figure

Base $=$ $8$ cm

Perpendicular $=$ $6$ cm

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times 8\text{ cm}\times 6\text{ cm}\\ {\text{=24 cm}}^2\end{array}$

Hence the area of the given triangle is ${\text{24 cm}}^2$ .
