∙ 13y agoLet the base be 10.2 and the height be x:-
0.5*10.2*x = 69.36
Multiply both sides by 2 and then divde both sides by 10.2 to find the value of x:-
x = 13.6 cm
Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle:-
10.22+13.62 = 289 and the square root of this is 17
So the dimensions are: hypotenuse 17 cm, height 13.6 cm and base 10.2 cm

The smaller the angle, the smaller the side opposite it.
The dimensions given fit that of a right angle triangle
It's the side opposite the smallest angle.
right angle triangle
The shortest side of a triangle is opposite to the smallest interior angle.
In a triangle the smallest angle is always opposite the shortest side. It will always be an acute angle.
No because the given dimensions do not comply with Pythagoras; theorem for a right angle triangle.
The smaller the angle, the smaller the side opposite it.

No. I do believe that the side opposite of the shortest (smallest) angle would be the smallest. Hope this helps.

The longest side is twice as long as the shortest side.
