If a right triangle has an area of 756 square units, what are the possible lengths of the base and height of this right triangle?
----
Formula:: A = (1/2)(base)(height)
-----
756 = (1/2)(base)(height)
1512 = (base)(height)
----
If base = 1, height = 1512
If hase = 2, height = 756
If base = 3, height = 504
etc.

.
Possible lengths of the base " b " and height " h " are from zero (from any arbitrary small positive real number) to infinity.
These values "b" and "h" are connected by only one restriction
= area = 756.
