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
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...
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
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
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.
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 24 inches and height of 10 inches?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 24 inches and height of 10 inches is: 26 inches.
