How to find the area of a right triangle if the hyp is 41 cm the adj is 26 cm and the opp is 32 cm
To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula: Area = (1/2) * (base) * (height).
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side and is opposite to the right angle. The adjacent side is the side that forms the right angle with the hypotenuse, and the opposite side is the side that is opposite to the angle you are considering.
In this case, the hypotenuse measures 41 cm, the adjacent side measures 26 cm, and the opposite side measures 32 cm.
Since the adjacent side and the opposite side are the base and height of the triangle respectively, you can plug these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (26 cm) * (32 cm)
Area = 416 square cm
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 416 square cm.
