How do you find the area of a right triangle when you have the base and hypotenuse?

Use Pythagoras' theorem:
hypotenuse2-base2 = height2 and then square root this to give the actual height
1/2*base*height = area

If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 10m and a base of 5mwhat is the area?
A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10m and a base of 5m has an area of: 21.65m2
What is the area of right angled triangle at the right?
There is no right triangle on the right! (Ignore the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.) if you have the length of the two legs (base and the upright side): (base x upright) ÷ 2 = area of the right angle triangle.
What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
How do you find the area of the right angle triangle given the base hypotenuse and perimeter?
It is: perimeter minus hypotenus+base = height Area = 0.5*base*height
What is the area of a right-angle triangle with a 3 base 4 height and 5 hypotenuse?
Hmmm. the triangle you describe is HALF of a rectangle...

Find the area of a right-angled triangle with base 8 cm and hypotenuse 10 cm?
The area of a right-angled triangle with base 8 cm and hypotenuse 10 cm is: 24 cm2
What is the area of right angled triangle at the right?
There is no right triangle on the right! (Ignore the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.) if you have the length of the two legs (base and the upright side): (base x upright) ÷ 2 = area of the right angle triangle.
What is the area of a right triangle with base of 8 and height of 8?
The area of a right triangle with base of 8 and height of 8 is: 32 square units. The hypotenuse is 11.31 units.
What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
How do you find the area of the right angle triangle given the base hypotenuse and perimeter?
It is: perimeter minus hypotenus+base = height Area = 0.5*base*height
What is the area of a right-angle triangle with a 3 base 4 height and 5 hypotenuse?
Hmmm. the triangle you describe is HALF of a rectangle...
A side of a right triangle that is not the hypotenuse?
Its base or its height
Can base of triangle is greater than its hypotenuse?
No because the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle will always be its longest side.
What is the area of a right triangle and the hypotenuse is 10.6?
Area = 0.5*base*height You will need to know the base or height then use Pythagoras theorem to find the base or height.
How do you find the area of a right angled triangle when knowing the base?
Knowing just the length of the base you can not work out the area. You need the height and the base or the length of the hypotenuse in order to work out the area.
