The perimeter of a right-angled triangle is 72 cm. The lengths of its sides are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 Work out the area of the triangle.

Work out the lengths of each side; do so by adding the ratio components together (3+4+5).The components add to 12; we can now find the value of a single unit of the ratio, by dividing 72 by 12.72/12 is 6;...
