The legs of a right triangle measure 5 sqrt 2 cm and 4 sqrt 2 cm.

Find the area.

10 sqrt 2 sq. cm
20 sq. cm
20 sqrt 2 sq. cm

Answer 1

legs in right triangle is always perpendicular to each other, so you already have base and height.

Answer 2

And area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}bh\)

Answer 3

So you have \(A = \dfrac{1}{2}(4\sqrt2)(5\sqrt2) = ?\)

Answer 4

is it 20 sq?

Answer 5

Yep.

Answer 6

thanks
