Answer:

none of the above

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is half the product of base and height:

A = (1/2)bh

For a right triangle, the base and height are the two leg lengths. So, the area is ...

A = (1/2)(4/5 cm)(2 1/4 cm)

= (1/2)(4/5)(9/4) cm^2

= (1·4·9)/(2·5·4) cm^2

= 9/10 cm^2

This area is not a listed answer choice.
