Algebra Question about area of a triangle?

Question

The lengths of the sides of a right triangle are 10, 24, and 26 in. What is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

Since this is a right triangle, the legs are the base & height so
A=1/2 bh
A=1/2 *10*24
A=120 in^2

Answer 2

Since it is given to be a right angle triangle, it follows that it must have a longest side, the hypotenuse. Since 26 is the longest side, it follows that 26 is the hypotenuse, meaning 24 and 10 are the base and height.

Since the area of a triangle is

A = (1/2)bh

Then it won't matter which is the base and which is the height (as multiplication is commutative). b = 10, h = 24.

A = (1/2)(10)(24)
A = 5(24)
A = 120 inches squared.

Answer 3

the equation for the area of a right triangle is (1/2) base * height. or (1/2)bh.

set the triangle up so that the
base=24
and the
height = 10.

So the area equals (1/2)*24*10 = 120

Answer 4

The are of a right triangle is 1/2 x b x h. The base and height are 10 and 24, since the hypoteneuse is always longer and would be 26 in this case. apply the formula and the answer would be 120.

Answer 5

area = (10x24)/2 = 120.

Remember the area = base x height / 2.
The two shorter sides of a triangle can be base or height. Just ignore the longer side.

Answer 6

The area of a right triangle is half the product of the
2 legs.
So area = 1/2*10*24 = 120 in².

Answer 7

This is a rt triangle with sides 10,24, 26.
The area is 1/2b*h= .5*10*24=120

Answer 8

A=bh/2 60=(3x+6)(x+5)/2 a hundred and twenty=(3x+6)(x+5) a hundred and twenty=3x^2+21x+30 ninety=3x^2+21x ninety=3(x^2+7x) 30=(x^2+7x) 0=x^2+7x-30 0=(x+10)(x-3) you consequently be attentive to that -10 and 3 are the values of x, in spite of the fact that in ordinary terms 3 is clever for this B=3x+6=3(3)+6=15 H=x+5=(3)+5=8

Answer 9

1/2 base times height
(1/2) (10) (24) = 120 in^2
