In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 65 cm and one of its sides is equal to 16 cm. What is its area (in cm2)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 504.

Third side = √(652 - 162) = √(4225 - 256) = √3969 = 63 cm

Area = (1/2) × Base × Height = (1/2) × 16 × 63 = 504 cm2
