Question 478573
Find the perimeter and area of a right triangle if one leg measures 14 mi. and the other leg measures 48 mi.
:
Let h = the hypotenuse of the right triangle
:
Perimeter: P = 14 + 48 + h
Find h
h = {{{sqrt(14^2 + 48^2)}}}
h = 50
p = 14 + 48 + 50 = 112 mi
:
Area = {{{1/2}}}*14*48 = 336 sq/mi
