Question

184 cm sq one one of it's leg is 16 cm long.find the length of the other leg.

Answer 1

Answer: Let the one leg be=base=16cm

area=1/2×b×h

184=1/2×16×h

8h=184

h=184/8

h=23

so the height (perpendicular)=23cm

(hypotenuse)2=p2+b2

=square root (23×23+16×16)

=square root (785)

=28.01cm

therefore, H=28.01cm

P=23cm
