S of right triangle = 200, leg 20, find the second leg?

This right-angled triangle can be positioned so that one leg is considered the base. In this case, the other leg coincides with the height. The area formula is known:

S = 1/2 * b * h

By condition S = 200, b = 20. Find h:

h = 2 * S: b = 2 * 200: 20 = 20.

Answer: the second leg is also 20 units long.
