you could simply use coordianate(bash) -or to make it sound better analytical geo.
let a=0,0 b=30,0 c=0,40.
the equation of bc is y-40=-4x/3
the distance (using the point to line formula) from 0,0 is just 24!!!!!!(factorial?)

What the...?

EDIT: I can vaguely understand that post after spending a few minutes trying to decipher it.

that problem is actually sort of trivial .........no offense guys.
i don't know but the area olution was a very standard method if you seen it before

Ummm...he's not using coordinates.

When you take the perpendicular from the base to the opposite corner, do you get two similar triangles?

Hm I am actually not bad with trigonometry. You can solve it with sinus this way:
∠α = tan(40/30) ≈53.13°
sin(α) = sin(53.13°) =0.8
30*0.8 =  24 (since sin gives the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse)
