A right triangle has an area of 98 inches. If the triangle is an isosceles triangle, what are the lengths of the legs of the triangle?

The length of each leg is inches.

49

Step-by-step explanation:

A=ab/2

98=ab/2

98/2=ab

49=ab

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
