A steel plate is in the shape of a right triangle. The lengths of the legs are in the ratio 5:12. If the hypotenuse is 13 m, what is the area?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 30 m2.

Ratio = 5 : 12

Triplet = 5, 12, 13

So, hypotenuse = 13 m

So, legs = 5 m and 12 m

Area = 121\over2 × 5 × 12 = 30 m2
