Find the area of a right-angled triangle if the leg is 20 cm and the hypotenuse is 25 cm.

S = 1/2 a * b, a = 20, c = 25 by the Pythagorean theorem, we find the second leg b ^ 2 = c ^ 2 – a ^ 2,

s ^ 2 = 625 – 400 = 225, s = 15, S = 1/2 * 15 * 20 = 150 cm2.

Answer: the area of a right-angled triangle = 150 cm2.
