For a triangle: Area = (1/2)base * height For an isosceles right triangle you know that: 1. the other two sides are equal 2. if you use one of the other sides as the base, then the base and height are the same length. Therefore: Area = (1/2)base^2 hypotenuse^2 = 2*(base^2) 30 = 2*(base^2) base = sqrt(15) Area = (1/2)sqrt(15)^2 Area = 15/2 square units.
