KCC's Quizzes AQQ290 about a triangle coming from the Hell

So, after a long (and deserved) summer vacation, we can suppose your brain is now fully energized and ready to tackle complex problem! 

OK, I know the 2 famous laws about vacations!

1. Vacations are always too short (even if you had 4 weeks)!

2. They always occur in wrong moments (i.e. you were disturbed by any kind of urgencies).

1. First, the quote of the week: "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily" - Zig Ziglar

2. New challenge: it's a geometry problem, about a triangle that comes from hell... Be careful, there is a trap...

                       

A right triangle has a hypothenuse of 10 cm and an altitude to the hypothenuse of 6 cm.

Question: What is the area of the triangle ABC?

Good luck! And try to be among the first ones!

Also, don't hesitate to share such quizzes with colleagues or friends!

  • Of course, the triangle is not rectangular and BC cannot be called the hypotenuse, but since the dimensions 10 cm and 5 cm are specified, the question is simply “What is the area of the triangle ABC ?” and this does not depend on anything other than these two dimensions, I answered the question based on a diabolical statement and figure... Laughing It was great!

  • Thanks  ! You finally discovered and concluded the rectangle cannot exist, congratulations! This is why we have put the warning the quiz contains a trap...
