Answer:
84 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
area of right triangle formula= 1/2 (base*height)
In order to find the area, you need the base and the height
The question included that the legs ratio are 7 to 24.
If you do [tex]\sqrt{7^2+24^2}[/tex], you get 25 (Pythagorean theorem)
so the base and heights are 7 and 24
1/2 (7*24)= 84
