1. Answer:

   Given: the base is a right angled triangle with sides a=6cm, b=8cm, c=10cm and T.S.A=156cm

   2

   . We know that

   T.S.A.=2B+Ph=2×

   1

   ×8×6+(6+8+10)h=48+24h.

   Thus 48+24h=156. This implies that 24h=156−48=108.

   Hence h=

   24

   108

   =4.5cm.

   Therefore LSA=Ph=(6+8+10)×4.5=24×4.5=108cm
