Find the perimeter and area of a right triangle if one leg measures 16 ft. and the other leg measures 30 ft.
------------------
Area = bh/2 = 16*30/2
Area = 240 sq ft
----------------
hyp%5E2+=+16%5E2+%2B+30%5E2+=+144+%2B+900
Hyp+=+sqrt%281044%29+=+6sqrt%2829%29
Perimeter+=+16+%2B+30+%2B+6sqrt%2829%29+=+46+%2B+6sqrt%2829%29
Perimeter =~ 78.311 feet
