Answer:
I'm assuming that you want the area of the triangle, so the answer would be [tex]14 units^{2}[/tex]. However, this triangle is not possible because it does not follow the Pythagorean Theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex] where [tex]b[/tex] is the base and [tex]h[/tex] 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 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]4[/tex]×[tex]7[/tex] [tex]= 14[/tex]
This triangle is not possible:
[tex]4^2 + 7^2[/tex] ≠ [tex]8^2[/tex]
because [tex]16 + 49[/tex] ≠ [tex]64[/tex].
