प्रश्न

Find the length of the perpendicular of a triangle whose base is 5cm and the hypotenuse is 13cm. Also, find its area.

बेरीज

उत्तर

Base = 5cm, Hypotenuse = 13cm
By Pythagoras theorem,
(perpendicular)2 = (13cm)2 - (5cm)2
(perpendicular)2 = 169cm2 - 25cm2
(perpendicular)2 = 144cm2
(perpendicular)2 = (12cm)2
∴ Perpendicular = 12cm
Area of the triangle 
= 13cm2 x (Base x Perpendicular)

= `(1)/(2) xx 5"cm" xx 12"cm"`
= 30cm2.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°

∴ ∠BAC = `square`

∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle

∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.

∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC

∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`

∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
