You can put this solution on YOUR website! A piece of land with an area of 2400 sq.m is in the shape of a right triangle with the hypotenuse 100m long. Find the two legs.
------------------
a*b/2 = 2400 --> a = 4800/b
Sub for a
sub x for b^2
(x - 3600)*(x - 6400) = 0
x = 3600, 6400
--> b = 60, 80
Legs are 60 & 80 meters
