Answer:

84 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of right triangle formula= 1/2 (base*height)

In order to find the area, you need the base and the height

The question included that the legs ratio are 7 to 24.

If you do [tex]\sqrt{7^2+24^2}[/tex], you get 25 (Pythagorean theorem)

so the base and heights are 7 and 24

1/2 (7*24)= 84
