Question 1 Report

If two smaller sides of a right angled triangle are 4cm and 5cm, find its area
Answer Details
To find the area of a right angled triangle, we can use the formula: Area = (base x height) / 2 In a right angled triangle, the two smaller sides that form the right angle are the base and height. Therefore, we can substitute 4 cm for the base and 5 cm for the height in the formula: Area = (4 cm x 5 cm) / 2 = 10 cm^2 Therefore, the area of the right angled triangle is 10 cm^2. The answer is (A) 10 cm^2.
