The area of the right triangle shown below is 30. The segment XY has a length of 5 ft. Find the
length of the hypotenuse,
A=b-n2 Step 2
Plug
in b in a²+ b²=(²
30=5.h:2
to find the hypotenuse.

Answer 1

Answer:

Side length = 12 feet

Hypotenuse = 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is: A = (1/2)base * height

so,

30 = (1/2)5 * height

30 = 2.5 * height, divide by 2.5 from both sides

12 = height

Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse

so,

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2

25 + 144 = c^2

169 = c^2, square root both sides

c = 13
