Question

Help me with this!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm assuming that you want the area of the triangle, so the answer would be $14 units^{2}$. However, this triangle is not possible because it does not follow the Pythagorean Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} bh$ where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.

In this triangle, the base is 7 and the height is 4, however, the base and height are interchangeable as long as they both share the right angle.

so the area is $\frac{1}{2}$×$4$×$7$ $= 14$

This triangle is not possible:

$4^2 + 7^2$ ≠ $8^2$

because $16 + 49$ ≠ $64$.
