  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    A = 96 cm², and, let’s say, b = 16 cm (We could have said let h = 16 cm), then substituting into the above formula, we get:

    96 cm² = (1/2)(16 cm)h

    96 cm² = (8 cm)h

    (96 cm²)/(8 cm) = [(8 cm)h]/(8 cm)

    (96 cm²)/(8 cm) = [(8 cm)/(8 cm)]h

    12 cm = [1]h

    h = 12 cm is the length of the other side (leg) of the given right triangle.
