if the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 37 kilometers and one of the legs is 35 kilometers,
\n" ); document.write( "what is the area of the triangle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let a = the unknown leg of the right triangle, then we have
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + 35^2 = 37^2
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + 1225 = 1369
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 = 1369 - 1225
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 = 144
\n" ); document.write( "a = \"sqrt%28144%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "a = 12 km is the other leg
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"1%2F2\"*12*35
\n" ); document.write( "A = 210 sq/km
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
