Hypotenuse - RT

A triangle has a hypotenuse of 55 and an altitude to the hypotenuse of 33. What is the area of the triangle?

Final Answer:

S = N/A

Step-by-step explanation:

c=55 h=33  h2=c/2=55/2=255=2721=27.5  h > c/2 h > h2 33 > 27.2  S = c h / 2 S=N/A

Has no solution due to Thales theorem, that maximum height of a right triangle is half of the hypotenuse
