The area of a right-angled triangle is 54 sq. cm. One of its legs has length 12 cm. Find its perimeter.

  • 1

Other leg is (2 x 54) / 12 = 9 cm. Hypotenuse is √(12² + 9²) = √(144 + 81) = √225 = 15 cm. Perimeter = 12 + 9 + 15 = 36 cm.

  1. Area of a right-angled triangle = (1/2) x leg1 x leg2.

    Given Area = 54 sq. cm and leg1 = 12 cm:

    54 = (1/2) x 12 x leg2 = 6 x leg2

    leg2 = 54 / 6 = 9 cm.

    By Baudhāyana-Pythagoras theorem, hypotenuse = √(leg1² + leg2²):

    hypotenuse = √(12² + 9²) = √(144 + 81) = √225 = 15 cm.

    Perimeter = leg1 + leg2 + hypotenuse = 12 + 9 + 15 = 36 cm.
