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.
you can't
By using trigonometry
You need more information unless it's a right triangle and a common pathagorean triangle, such as a 90 degree angle with a hypotenuse of 5 would have legs of 3 and 4.
if you know the two legs of the triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse as the base. Then you use the formula to find the area of the triangle: 1/2 (pi) bh.
make it a quadrangle & divide by 2.

By using trigonometry
The 90 degree angle in a right angle triangle is opposite its hypotenuse.
If it's a right angle triangle and an acute angle plus the length of a leg is given then use trigonometry to find the hypotenuse.
The area of a right-angled triangle with base 8 cm and hypotenuse 10 cm is: 24 cm2

You can't as there is no hypotenuse in an equilateral triangle. The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle which is opposite a right angle (90°); all angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°.
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
The hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of 35 and 68 is: 76.48
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
