The area of a right triangle is 30 and one leg is 10. Find the second leg.

1. Let’s designate the second leg of the right-angled triangle through x.

2. Using the formula for finding the area of a right-angled triangle S = (a * b) / 2, compose and solve the equation:

(10 * x) / 2 = 30;

10x = 30 * 2;

10x = 60;

x = 60: 10;

x = 6.

3. The second leg of a right-angled triangle is x = 6.

Answer: the second leg of a right-angled triangle is 6.
