In a right-angled triangle, altitude is 2 cm longer than its base. Find the dimensions of the right-angled triangle given that the length of its hypotenuse is 10 cm.
उत्तर
Let x cm be the base of the right-angled triangle.
As a result, the altitudeude = (x + 2) cm.
Also, hypotenuse = 10 cm
We have the Pythagorean theorem.
(Base)2 + (Altitude)2 = (Hypotenuse)2
⇒ x2 + (x + 2)2 = 102
⇒ x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 = 100
⇒ 2x2 + 4x – 96 = 0
⇒ 2x + 2x – 48 = 0
⇒ x2 + (8 – 6)x – 48 = 0
⇒ x2 + 8x – 6x – 48 = 0
⇒ x(x + 8) – 6(x + 8) = 0
⇒ (x – 6)(x + 8) = 0
⇒ (x + 8) = 0 or (x – 6) = 0
⇒ x = – 8 or x = 6
A triangle's sides cannot be negative.
So, x = 6.
As a result, the right-angled triangle's base is 6 cm and its altitude is 6 + 2 = 8 cm.
As a result, the right-angled triangle's dimensions are 8 cm, 6 cm, and 10 cm.

In the adjoining fig. `square` ABCD is a trapezium AB || CD and its area is 33 cm2. From the information given in the figure find the lengths of all sides of the `square` ABCD. Fill in the empty boxes to get the solution.
Solution: `square` ABCD is a trapezium.
AB || CD
`"A"(square "ABCD") = 1/2 ("AB" + "CD") xx`______
33 = `1/2 ("x" + 2"x" + 1) xx `______
∴ ______ = (3x + 1) × ______
∴ 3x2 +______ − ______ = 0
∴ 3x(______) + 10(______) = 0
∴ (3x + 10) (______) = 0
∴ (3x + 10) = 0 or ______ = 0
