Question

Help me with this!!!!

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you want the area of the triangle, so the answer would be
`14 units^(2)`. However, this triangle is not possible because it does not follow the Pythagorean Theorem.

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is
`(1)/(2) bh` where
`b` is the base and
`h` is the height.

In this triangle, the base is 7 and the height is 4, however, the base and height are interchangeable as long as they both share the right angle.

so the area is
`(1)/(2)`×
`4`×
`7`
`= 14`

This triangle is not possible:

`4^2 + 7^2` ≠
`8^2`

because
`16 + 49` ≠
`64`.
