What is the area of a right triangle with the hypotenuse of 78cm and a leg of 72cm?
Area of right triangle = 1/2 x P x B or Half of product of two sides which are at right angle to each other(if we don't know which one is perpendicular or base).
One of the sides measures 72 cm and the other can be calculated by applying Pythagoras theorem.
Let the other side be x
And x2 = 782 - 722 = 900 (By Pythagoras theorem)
x = (900)1/2 = 30 cm
So the other side measures 30 cm.
Thus, Area of the triangle = 1/2 x 72 x 30 = 1080 cm2.

The side of a triangle 78cm 20 cm and 22cm find its area?
It is not possible to have a triangle with sides of those lengths. The two shortest sides of a triangle must always add to more than the longest side. This is known as the triangle inequality.
How tall is one meter and 78 cm?
1m 78cm = 5' 10.1"
How many cm are in 780mm?
1cm = 10mm so 780mm = 780/10 = 78cm
What is 48cm x 78 cm in ft?
48cm x 78cm is 3744 square cm or 4.03 square feet.
The length of the rectangle is 7cm more than the widthThe perimeter is 78cm Find the rectangle?
The rectangle is 23cm x 16cmHalf the perimeter is 78 / 2= 39cm (which is one side and one end).39 - 7 = 32cm32 / 2 = 16cm (one end)16 + 7 = 23cm (one side)Proof:(23 + 16) x 2 = 78cm the perimeter.
