The base of a right triangle is 48 cm and its hypotenuse is 50 cm long. The area of the triangle is –
Base of right angled triangle = 48 cm
Hypotenuse of triangle = 50 cm
Now, by using pythagoras theorem we get:
Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2
(50)2 = (48)2 – h2
2500 = 2304 – h2
h2 = 2500 – 2304
h2 = 196
h = 14 cm
Now, Area of triangle =
=
= 7 × 48
= 336 cm2
Hence, option (c) Is correct
