Answer:
The answer to your question is Triangle's area = 520 in², Square's area = 576 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Process
1.- Calculate the area of the triangle
-Find the length of the base using the Pythagorean theorem
c² = a² + b²
-Solve for b²
b² = c² - a²
-Substitution
b² = 37² - 35²
-Simplification
b² = 1369 - 1225
b² = 144
b = 12 in
-Find the base
base = 2(12) = 24 in
-Find the area of the triangle
Area = base x height / 2
-Substitution
Area = 24 x 35 / 2
-Simplification
Area = 420 in²
2.- Find the area of the square
Area = side x side
-Substitution
Area = 24 x 24
-Result
Area = 576 in²
