The area of a right-angled triangle is 30 cm². If its smallest side is 5 cm, then its hypotenuse is
(a) 14 cm
(b) 13 cm
(c) 12 cm
(d) 11cm

Solution:

Given, area of a right-angled triangle is 30 cm²

The length of the smallest side is 5 cm

We have to find the length of the hypotenuse.

Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

30 = 1/2 × 5 ×& height

Height = 30(2)/5

Height = 6(2)

Height = 12 cm

By using Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (height)² + (base)²

&(Hypotenuse)² = (12)² + (5)²

(Hypotenuse)² = 144 + 25

(Hypotenuse)² = 169

Taking square root,

Hypotenuse = 13 cm

Therefore, the hypotenuse is 13 cm.
