Given:

One of the legs of a right triangle is 9 cm.

The area of the triangle is 225 cm².

To find:

The length of the other leg.

Solution:

The area of a triangle is

Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height

The area of a right triangle is

Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (leg_1)\times (leg_2)

Let x be the length of other leg.

225=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (9)\times (x)

2\times 225=9x

\dfrac{450}{9}=x

50=x

Therefore, the length of the other leg is 50 cm.
