PLEASE HELP!!!! Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagorean Theorem:  c²  =  a² + b²     [c must be the hypotenuse; a and b are the other sides]

For this problem, c = 6.

We can let either a or b = 2; let's say that b = 2.

Place these values into the equation:  c²  =  a² + b²    --->   6²  =  a² + 2²    --->   36  =  a² + 4 

                                                                                      --->   32  =  a²

So:  a = sqrt(32)

Area  =  ½·base·height   --->   Area  =  ½·sqrt(32)·2   --->   Area  =  sqrt(32)

a = 2      c = 6

Side   b = sqrt ( 6² - 2² )               b = 5.656854249 in       

Area    A = b * 1                      A = 5.656854249 sq. in
