Answer:

The area of the triangle is 48 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle formed when to legs come together to make a 90° angle.  The 'legs' of the triangle can also be called referred to the base and the height of the triangle.  The general formula for the area of a triangle is:  

A = \frac{1}{2}b*h, where b = base and h = height

In this case, the leg measures are given as 8 inches and 12 inches, so we can put these values into our formula to solve for area:  

A = \frac{1}{2}(8)(12) = 48

We are asked to solve for the surface area of the described figure in the problem. We can conclude that the given figure is a rectangular prism since it was being mentioned in the problem that the height is laid flat. Therefore, the formula for the surface area is SA = PH + 2B where "P" stands for the perimeter of the rectangle and "B" stands for the area of the rectangle while "H" is for the height.
Solving for P, we have it:
P = width + length + width + length
P = 10 + 5 + 10 + 5
P = 30 inches
Solving for B, we have it:
B = length * width 
B = 10 * 5
B = 50 inches squared
Solving for the surface area, we have it:
SA = PH + 2B
SA = 30*7 + (2*50)
SA = 310 inches squared

The answer is 310 in2.
