Hello, could somebody please answer this: Marsha used about 400 square 1-inch tiles to cover a tabletop that was shaped like a right triangle. The length of one leg of the right triangle was 16 inches. What was the length of the other leg of the triangle?

Answer:

The area of the right triangular tabletop is calculated through the equation,

                                   A = 0.5(L₁)(L₂)

The area, as stated above, is equal to 400 in². Substituting the known values to the equation above,

                                   400 = 0.5(16 in)(L₂)

The value of L₂ is equal to 50 inches. Thus, the second length is equal to 50 inches.
