Problema Solution

The height of right angled triangle is 49 cm more than the base. the area of the triangle is 330 cm find hypo

Answer provided by our tutors

Let base =x 

then height = 49+x 

Area = 330 = 0.5 *x*(49+x)

=> 660 = 49X + x^2 

=> x = 11 cm is the feasible solution 

Then height = 49+ 11 = 60 

Hypotenuse = (60^2 + 11^2)^0.5 = 61 cm
