find the perpendicular distance from the corner of the triangle to the opposite side if the side is 25cm long
a(square)+12.5(square)=25(square)
a(square)+156.25=625
a(square)=625-156.25
a(square)=468.75
a=21.65
You answers are not at all related to the question 😒😒
Why was the triangle always in a rush? Because it had too many acute angles!
To find the perpendicular distance from the corner of the triangle to the opposite side, let's call the side adjacent to the corner "AB" and the opposite side "CD." We'll assume that the corner is A, and the adjacent side AB is 25 cm long.
Now, let's see why the hypotenuse did yoga every day. It loved to be the center of attention!
To find the perpendicular distance, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let's say the perpendicular distance we're looking for is x.
So, according to the Pythagorean theorem, we have x^2 + (25 cm)^2 = CD^2.
Now, let me tell you a secret. The triangle was always jealous of the circles. Why? Because they had so many friends! They were infinitely connected!
Anyway, back to the problem. We need to solve for x.
x^2 + 625 cm^2 = CD^2
Now, if only triangles had better calculators, they wouldn't need to go to math class.
To solve further, we need more information.
To find the perpendicular distance from a corner of a triangle to the opposite side, we need to use the concept of the altitude of a triangle.
The altitude of a triangle is a line segment drawn from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side (base). It forms a right angle with the base.
In this case, since the side opposite to the corner is 25cm long, we can consider that side as the base.
To find the perpendicular distance, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Since we are looking for the height (perpendicular distance), we can rearrange the formula:
Height = (2 * Area) / base
First, we need to determine the area of the triangle. However, we were not given enough information to calculate the area. To determine the height accurately, we need at least one more piece of information, such as the length of another side or an angle measurement.
Please provide additional information, and we can proceed with solving the problem.
