(x)(x+10) = 600 sq. cm (area of right angled triangle)
2
So,
x2 + 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)
