Question

finding area find the area of the figure. round decimal answers to the nearest tenth. 25. a right triangle with one leg 9 cm and the other leg 12 cm (the image of the triangle is shown)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall right triangle area formula

The area of a right triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

Step2: Substitute given values

Base = 9 cm, Height = 12 cm.
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 12$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{1}{2} \times 108 = 54$
