1. Problem Description
We are given a right triangle with cm, , , and . We want to find the area of triangle .
2. Solution Steps
Since , we can form a right triangle with opposite side 3 and hypotenuse
5. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the adjacent side is $\sqrt{5^2 - 3^2} = \sqrt{25 - 9} = \sqrt{16} = 4$.
Then and .
In triangle , we have . Also, cm. Since , we can write
.
We are given that , so . Therefore, we have
cm.
The area of triangle is
Area cm.
3. Final Answer
C. 24 cm
