Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of leg XY. Then the length of YZ is x/2 and the area of the right triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(x)(x/2) = x²/4
36 = x²/4 . . . . . use the given value for area
144 = x² . . . . . . multiply by 4
√144 = 12 = x . . . . . take the square root
The length of leg XY is 12 cm.
