In a right angle triangle if the height of the triangle is 24cm and the hypotenuse of the triangle is 26cm. then find the area of the triangle?

  1. 30 cm2

  2. 60 cm2

  3. 120 cm2

  4. 15 cm2

  5. None of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

Using the Pythagorean theorem: base = sqrt(hypotenuse^2 - height^2) = sqrt(26^2 - 24^2) = sqrt(676 - 576) = sqrt(100) = 10 cm. Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2 × 10 × 24 = 120 cm^2. Option C is correct.
