The area of a right-angle triangle is half of the area of a rectangle 8cm x 4cm. Find the rectangle area and divide by half to find the area of the right-angle triangle.
Therefore: 8 x 4 / 2 = 16cm2

The above answer assumes that the two given lengths are the shorter legs of the triangle. It is, however, possible that these are the hypotenuse and one leg. In that case, the second leg is 4*sqrt(2) cm and the area of the triangle is
4 * 4*sqrt(2) / 2 = 8*sqrt(2) = 11.31 cm2.

A rectangle that is 2cm by 4cm has an area of 8cm. It also has a perimeter of 12cm.
It does not have a circumference but its perimeter is: 4+6+8 = 18 cm
A triangle rectangle : S=bxh/2 b=8cm / h=4cm divided by two= 16cm2 A Square = 2 cm each side = 16 cm2
The area of triangle is : 44.0
If one side of the triangle is 8cm then the other side is 7cm because 0.5*8*7 = 28 square cm
