- Find the area of the right angled triangle if the radius of its circumcircle is 5 cm and altitude drawn to the hypotenuse is 4 cm.
Dear Student!
Here is the answer to your query.
Given : The radius of circumcircle of a triangle is 5 cm and Altitude drawn to the hypotenuse is 4 cm.
We know that if an angle of triangle is 90° then its hypotenuse is the diameter of the circumcircle.
⇒ Hypotenuse = Diameter = 2 × radius = 2 × 5 cm = 10 cm
Now area of triangle = × base × height
Cheers!
