Factoring:
FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) method
(a+b)(c+d) = 0
ac+ad+bc+bd = 0
Zeros:
(x+a)(x+b) = 0
x+a = 0, x= 0-a
x+b = 0, x= 0-b

Answer:
342 mm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle shown has a base of 9 mm and a height of 76 mm. Its area is ...
A = 1/2bh
A = (1/2)(9 mm)(76 mm) = 342 mm²
The triangle shown has an area of 342 mm².

<em>Additional comment</em>
The other leg of the right triangle with one leg 76 mm and hypotenuse 100 mm will be about 65 mm. The base shown is 9 mm, so any triangle with the dimensions shown will be a fairly skinny obtuse triangle, not the acute triangle in the picture. (This makes us suspect an error: the 9 mm dimension maybe should be 90 mm.)
