Question

The difference between the sides of right angle triangle containing the right angle is 7 cm and its area is 60 cm2 . Calculate the perimeter of triangle.

hintHint:

Sides containing right angle are height and base.

The correct answer is: 40 cm


    It is given that difference between perpendicular and base = 7
    i.e. b – h = 7  ⇒  b = 7 + h
    Now, Area of triangle = 60 cm2
    1 half cross times b cross times h = 60
    left parenthesis 7 plus h right parenthesis cross times h = 120
    h2 + 7h – 120 = 0
    h2 +15h – 8h – 120 = 0
    h(h + 15)-8(h + 15) = 0
    (h + 15)(h – 8) = 0
    h = 8 , - 15
    Since, perpendicular is always positive so h = 8
    Base, B = 7 + 8 = 15
    Using Pythagoras theorem ,
    H2 = B2 + P2
    H2 = 152 + 82 = 225 + 64 = 289
    H = square root of 289 = 17 cm
    Perimeter of triangle = Sum of all sides
    = 17 + 8 + 15 = 40 cm

    George took a nonstop flight from Dallas to Los Angeles, a total flight distance of 1,233 miles. The plane flew at a speed of 460 miles per hour for the first 75 minutes of the flight and at a speed of 439 miles per hour for the remainder of the flight. To the nearest minute, for how many minutes did the plane fly at a speed of 439 miles per hour?

    Note:
    The relation between speed, distance and time given by the relation above is very important. There could be many such questions formed which ask us to calculate any of the three quantities with certain conditions involved.
