Solution
Let ∆ABC be the given right angled triangle.
AC = 25 cm, AB = 7 cm
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° ......[Given]
∴ AC2 = AB2 + BC2 .......[Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 252 = 72 + BC2
∴ 625 = 49 + BC2
∴ BC2 = 625 – 49
∴ BC2 = 576
∴ BC = 24 cm .......[Taking square root of both sides]
∴ The length of the base of the given right angle triangle is 24 cm.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
