Problem Solving (PS) | Re: If the area of the right triangle above is 18, what is the value of x?

1/2 Base * Height is the area of the triangle.

-- 6 (height) * 3 (half the base) = 18 so the base is 6

If two sides of a right triangle are equal, their angles must correspond with 45, 45, 90. Hence, the right answer is (C), 45 degrees.
