Answer:
1 inch by 36 inches
or
2 inches by 18 inches
or
3 inches by 12 inches
or
4 inches by 9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle has an area of 18 square inches
The triangle is not an isosceles triangle
The area of a right triangle is given by; [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base(b) × height(h)
In our case, the base and the height of the triangle are known as legs
So, [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × b × h = 18 square inches
b × h = 18 × 2 = 36 square inches
The possible factors of 36 (or lengths of the legs) that could give an area of 18 square inches are:
Base by Height:
1 inch by 36 inches
or
2 inches by 18 inches
or
3 inches by 12 inches
or
4 inches by 9 inches
