Express the area of this triangle as a monomial.

( i can not attach the picture of the triangle, but it shows a right triangle with the left side measuring 9x , the bottom side measuring 6x and the last side the right side is the longest and the missing measurement. i do not know if this info will help.)

54x^2

27x^2

Do you remember the area formula for a right-angled triangle? :)

butterflydreamer · Answer

that's pythagoras' theorem :)
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

yea, i just realized that oops :)

butterflydreamer · Answer

no worries ^_^.
So now since we know the formula, can you identify the base and height in your diagram/question? :)
