Hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle = 10cm. Perimeter = 28 cm We need to find the area of a right-angled triangle.
Let us denote the lengths of the legs of this right-angled triangle through x and y.
According to the condition of the problem, the hypotenuse of a rectilinear triangle is 10 cm, therefore, using the Pythagorean theorem, we obtain the following relation:
x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 100.
It is also known that the perimeter of this right-angled triangle is 28 cm, therefore, the following relationship holds:
x + y + 10 = 28.
Expressing y in terms of from from the second equation, we obtain:
y = 28 – 10 – x;
y = 18 – x.
Substituting this value y into the equation x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 100, we get:
x ^ 2 + (18 – x) ^ 2 = 100;
x ^ 2 + 324 – 36x + x ^ 2 = 100;
2x ^ 2 – 36x + 324 – 100 = 0;
2x ^ 2 – 36x + 224 = 0;
x ^ 2 – 18x + 112 = 0;
x = 9 ± √ (81 – 112) = = 9 ± √ (-31).
The discriminant of this quadratic equation is negative, therefore, this equation has no roots.
Consequently, there is no right-angled triangle that satisfies the conditions of the problem.
Answer: there is no right triangle that satisfies the conditions
