Question 951500
 Find the length of the hypotenuse if the height is 6 meters and the area is 36 meters squared?
:
Find the base of the right triangle when you know the area and the height
{{{1/2}}}*b*6 = 36
multiply both sides by 2
6b = 72
b = 72/6
b = 12 meters
:
the we know the two legs of the triangle are 12 and 6, find the hypotenuse
h = {{{sqrt(6^2 + 12^2)}}}
h = {{{sqrt(36 + 144)}}}
h = {{{sqrt(180)}}}
h = 13.4164 meters is the hypotenuse
