Answer:

14 centimeters.

Explanation:

We can plug in the lengths into
A=(ab)/(2), where
a and
b represent the legs: base and height. It would result in
A=(7*4)/(2). From there, you would find that seven times four is twenty-eight, and when divided by two it equals fourteen.

The area of a right triangle that has legs seven and four centimeters long is fourteen centimeters.
