Question

Shanya Singhal · Answer

(x)(x+10) = 600 sq. cm (area of right angled triangle) 2 So, x 2 + 10x – 1200 = 0 (x - 30)(x + 40) = 0 x = 30 and x = – 40 rejecting x = – 40 as dimentions of a triangle cannot be in negative Therefore, ANSWER= Base = x = 30 cm and Altitude = (x + 10) = 40 cm and hypotenuse = 50 cm (By Pythagorus Theorum)
