Find the Area of Right Angled Triangle whose hypotenuse is 11 cm and perpendicular on the hypotenuse is 6 cm?

Question

Find the Area of the Right Angled Triangle whose hypotenuse is 11 cm and perpendicular from the right angle vertex on the hypotenuse is 6 cm.

Answer 1

Treat the hypotenuse as base now apply the area of triangle formula as (base * height)/2
=> 11*6/2
=> 33 cm^2

Are you sure ?

Is something wrong with my ans, would you like to correct it?

I'm am sorry. I should have hinted earlier. It's a trick question. I will drop a hint: The triangle is on Euclidean plane.

Answer 2

33 sq cm should be the answer.

As I had commented earlier, the answer is not straightforward and the question has got a trick hidden. Best of luck ! :)

Answer 3

The area of a triangle is 1/2 ( base x height)
Then Area = 1/2 ( 11 x 6 ) = 33 cm2

As I have commented earlier, this is a trick question. If you need any further hints kindly PM me or add a comment after this. Best of luck !

Answer 4

Easy peasy! 33 cm^2 is correct.
