Question 566462: Hi Tutors: I think I posted this before and left out some information. Can anyone help me with this please. Thanks in advance
A gardener wants to create a triangular garden in the shape of a right triangle with shortest side length x – 5y ft. and the middle length side x + 6y ft. What is an algebraic expression for the area of the garden? Be sure to multiply this out and express in simplest correct mathematical form, including units.

Area of right triangle = 1/2 * leg1*leg2
Area = 1/2 * (x-5y)(x+6y)
Area = 1%2F2+%2A+%28x%5E2%2B6xy-5xy-30y%5E2%29
Area = 1%2F2%2A%28x%5E2%2Bxy-30y%5E2%29
