The base of a right triangle is 12 cm and its area is 210 cm². What is the length of its hypotenuse?

The length of the hypotenuse is 37cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the area of the triangle can be found by 1/2bh. we can plug in what we know into this formula to find the height.

a=1/2bh

210=1/2(12)h

210=6h

h=35cm

now, since it's a right triangle, we can find the length of its hypotenuse by using the pythagorean theorem, using c to represent the length of the hypotenuse:

12^2+35^2=c^2

c^2=144+1225

c^2=1369

c=37

so, the hypotenuse is 37cm

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7
