Math Problem Statement

Determine the area of the right-angled triangles with given side lengths.

Solution

The image contains three right-angled triangles, each with given side lengths, and the task is to determine the areas of these triangles. Here are the steps for calculating the area of a right-angled triangle:

The area AA of a right-angled triangle can be calculated using the formula:

A=12×base×heightA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

1. Triangle 1:

  • Base = 12 cm
  • Height = 8 cm

A=12×12×8=48cm2A = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 8 = 48 \, \text{cm}^2

2. Triangle 2:

  • Base = 12 cm
  • Height = 10 cm

A=12×12×10=60cm2A = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 10 = 60 \, \text{cm}^2

3. Triangle 3:

  • Base = 5 cm
  • Height = 10 cm

A=12×5×10=25cm2A = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 10 = 25 \, \text{cm}^2

Summary of Results:

  1. Area of Triangle 1: 48cm248 \, \text{cm}^2
  2. Area of Triangle 2: 60cm260 \, \text{cm}^2
  3. Area of Triangle 3: 25cm225 \, \text{cm}^2
