Suppose a right triangle has a hypotenuse which is 2 cm longer than one leg and 9 cm longer than the other leg. Find the area of this right triangle.
-------------------------
Let the hypotenuse be "x"
----------
One leg is "x-2" cm
The other leg is "x-9" cm.
--------------------------------
Area = (1/2)(x-2)(x-0)
---------------------------
I'll let you multiply that out.
Cheers,
