ABC is right angled triangle at C. Let BC = a, CA = b and AB = c and let p be the length of perpendicular from C on AB, then cp is equal to
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
- In right triangle ABC:
- BC =
- CA =
- AB =
- Perpendicular from C to AB =
- Area of triangle can be written in two ways:
- Area =
- Area =
- Using both formulas:
- Therefore:
The answer is .
The key here is that the area of a right triangle equals half the product of either:
- Base and height ()
- Two sides forming right angle ()
Since these are equal,
