  • Question
  • The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle 10 cm and its area is 24 cm^2. If the shorts side is halved and the longer side is double, the new hypotenuse becomes


  • Options
  • A. √245 cm
  • B. √255cm
  • C. √265cm
  • D. √275 cm

  • Correct Answer
  • √265 cm 

    Explanation
    Hypotenuse = 10cm
    Let the other 2 perpendicular sides be a and b
    Area ½ a*b = 24
    So a*b = 48 cm^2
