find the perimeter and area of a right triangle if the shortest side is 0.6 m and the longest side is 1 m. Include correct units with each part of your solution.

Solution:

The other side = sqrt(1^2 - 0.6^2) =0.8

In the right triangle, the sides are 0.6m, 0.8m, 1.0m

So the perimeter = 0.6+0.8+1 = 2.4m

the area = 0.5*0.6*0.8 = 0.24 square meters.
