A lawn is in the shape of a right angled triangle.
The length of two shorter sides are ,while the length of hypotenuse is .
Form and solve an equation in and hence find the area of the lawn in .
the area of triangle is:
use Pythagorean theorem to calculate :
.......use quadratic formula
.........simplify
solutions:
-> disregard negative solution
sides are m= m=>height=base
hypotenuse is m
