yeah 1+ for d. 8-)

but i still have doubt in computing area of a triangle for right angled triangles. because in right angled triangle sometimes a line that drops on to hypotenuse is considered as height. i wana know for which cases what should be considered as height. plz help @bunnel .

The altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular from the base to the opposite vertex (the base may need to be extended). Since there are three possible bases, there are also three possible altitudes. In case of a right triangle both legs are altitudes as well as perpendicular from right angle to hypotenuse.

Since its a right triangle and (according to the picture) the ratio between the shortest side and hypotenuse is 1 : 2, then the ratio between the shortest side and the base is 1 : 3^0.5. We can figure out that if x + x/2 = 150 then x is equal to 100.

Therefore the area of the triangle is 0.5bh therefore 25(3)^0.5 * 50 = 1250(3)^0.5 Option D
