Commutative property of multiplication states that u can " commute " , move around the numbers and get the same result.
Example : 1 * 2 * 3 = 3 * 2 * 1...they still equal no matter what order u put them in.
so cba = abc by commutative property of multiplication
15 is coefficient, a is a variable, 2 and -7 are like terms, 15a is a term and 2 and 7 are constants.
Since this is a 45-45-90 right triangle, the hypotenuse = sqrt2 * leg
24 is the hypotenuse so we need to find the leg.
24 = sqrt2 * leg
Divide both sides by sqrt2
leg = 16.97
A = (1/2)b*h
A = (1/2)*16.97*16.97
A = 144ft^2
