Answer:

In a right triangle, the hypotenuse, 2x, is equal to twice the length of the shortest leg, x, and the longer leg is equal to the product of the length of the shortest leg, x, and the square root of 3.

Hypotenuse: 10 in.

Shortest Leg:2x=10 , so x=5 in,

Longer Leg: x sq rt 3 5 sq rt 3 in

area- 1/2 bh, 1/2 5*5 sq rt 3=

25t sq rt 3=21.65 sq inches
