The area of a right triangle is
Let x be the length of other leg.
Therefore, the length of the other leg is 50 cm.
Answer:
Not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
We can figure out if it is a right triangle or not by using the pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
In this case a and b are 16 and 18
In order for it to be a right triangle, c has to equal 34, in this problem.
16^2 + 18^2 = c^2
= 580^2
= = 24.0832
Since 24.0832 does not equal 34, this is not a right triangle
