A right-angled triangle has two sides that are perpendicular to each other, measuring \(8\text{ cm}\) and \(15\text{ cm}\). What is the area of this triangle?

Question 3

1 mark

An open-top rectangular tank has a length of \(40\text{ cm}\), a width of \(25\text{ cm}\), and a height of \(30\text{ cm}\). It is filled with water to a depth of \(15\text{ cm}\). If a solid metal cube with a side length of \(10\text{ cm}\) is placed into the tank and sinks to the bottom, what is the new height of the water level?

Question 4
