Area=1/2(base*height) where either side can be the base or the height in a right triangle.
The area of a right triangle that has legs 7 cm and 4 cm long can be calculated using the fact that a right triangle is half of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is l*h, so the area of a right triangle is l*h/2. In this case, the area is 14 cm^2.
The area of a right triangle is dependent on the length of leg A and leg B. The formula for this is A= leg a multiplied by leg b then divided by 2.
