b. 10 sq. units
c. 42 sq. units
d. 84 sq. units

Explanation:

Question 24

Step1: Recall area formula for right triangle

The area of a right triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{leg}_1 \times \text{leg}_2$

Step2: Substitute given values

$\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 4$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{1}{2} \times 40 = 20$

Question 25

Step1: Recall general triangle area formula

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

Step2: Substitute given values

$\frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 6$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{1}{2} \times 84 = 42$

Answer:

Question 24: A. 20 sq. inches
Question 25: C. 42 sq. units
