A wire of length 96m is bent to form a right angled triangle with hypotenuse 40m find the area of triangle

Answer»

ANSWER: TRIANGLE is not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let BASE of triangle be 'x'.

P=56-x

H^2=B^2+P^2

40^2=x^2+(56-x)^2

1600=x^2+3136+x^2-112x

2x^2+112x=-1536

2x^2+112x+1536=0

x^2+56x+768=0

x^2+24x+32x+768=0

x(x+24)+32(x+24)=0

(x+24)(x+32)=0

x=-24 or -32

Length can't be negative.
