the area of a right triangle is 336 square centimeters. The base of the right triangle is 48 centimeters. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle?

50 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first step is to find the height, and to do that you know that the area of a triangle is height * base / 2 =  area. Plugging in the numbers you have, you get:

Then, this becomes

Divide both sides by 24

Now you can use the base and the height to find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem:

Therefore the length of the hypotenuse is 50 cm
