In a right-angled triangle, one leg is 4, and the other is 6 more. Find the area of the triangle.

From the condition it is known that in a right-angled triangle one leg is 4, and the other is 6 more. We need to find the area of the triangle.

To find the area of a triangle, we will apply the formula:

S = 1/2 * a * b;

The area of a right-angled triangle is half the product of the legs of the triangle.

Let’s find the length of the second leg. To do this, we add 6 to the length of the first leg and get:

4 + 6 = 10.

It remains to substitute the values into the formula and calculate:

S = 1/2 * 4 * 10 = 20 sq. units.
