A right triangle is given. One leg is u units and the other leg is v units. The hypotenuse is given to be w units.
If u = [2(m + n)]/n, v = 4m/(m - n), and
w = [2(m^2 + n^2)/(m - n)n, show that
(1/2)(uv) = u + v + w
I must multiply u times v times (1/2), right? I then must add u + v + w. The right side must equal the left, right?
This exercise will show that the perimeter is numerically equal to the area.
