Question 136

The hypotenuse (in cms) of a right angle triangle whosesides are in the ratio 3:4 and having area 24 sq.cmsis

Solution

Let the two sides be 3x and 4x. By Pythagoras' theorem, we get hypotenuse as 5x. 
Now, Area of triangle = 0.5*3x*4x = 6x*x = 24 sq cm 
Hence, x = 2 and thus, hypotenuse = 10 cm
