How do you find the area of a triangle if you only have the hypotenuse?
you can't
How do you find area of a 90 degree triangle with hypotenuse only?
The hypotenuse only is not sufficient to determine the area of a right triangle, unless the triangle is stated to be isosceles, or there is some other information that allows determination of the length of a side in addition to the hypotenuse. The area of a right triangle with a given hypotenuse only approaches zero as one of the two acute angles approaches zero degrees.

The hypotenuse alone does not provide enough information to determine the area of a triangle.

What is the volume of an 8 inch tall right triangular pyramid with a base hypotenuse of 10 inches and a base leg of 8 inches?
First, we want to look at the base to find its area. A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10 inches and a leg of 8 inches has its other leg at 6 inches by the Pythagorean Theorem. Now we have both legs of the right triangle, so using the formula for area of a triangle, A=bh/2, we get an area of 24 square inches. Now, the volume of a pyramid is Bh/3, so 24*10/3=80 cubic inches.

Why the area of a triangle is half that of a parallelogram?
If you put two of ANY triangle hypotenuse to hypotenuse the shape will have 4 sides (thus a parallelogram or quadrilateral).
