a=35?

Answer 2

Find the missing side

Answer 3

@marcoduuuh Are you trying?

Answer 4

yes!

Answer 5

Find the side then use the area formula,
\[\frac 1 2 \times base\times \ height\]

Answer 6

hey just an idea here take half of seven and than half of 10 and times them together

Answer 7

I got 35?

Answer 8

1/2 of 7 is 3.5 and half of 10 is 5 so what is the answer?

Answer 9

You need to find the height first, formula doesn't involve hypotenuse's length

Answer 10

17.5!

Answer 11

@marcoduuuh Can you use Pythagoras to find height?

Answer 12

better use a2+b2=c2 may be that would work here

Answer 13

that's Pythagoras

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

hey ash am I missing something here??
