The legs of a right triangle measure 8 inches and 12 inches. what is the area of the triangle?

The area of the triangle is 48 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle formed when to legs come together to make a 90° angle.  The 'legs' of the triangle can also be called referred to the base and the height of the triangle.  The general formula for the area of a triangle is:  

A = b*h, where b = base and h = height

In this case, the leg measures are given as 8 inches and 12 inches, so we can put these values into our formula to solve for area:  

A = (8)(12) = 48

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
