1. one of the perpendicular sides is 6 feet
2. the largest side is 10 feet
B
Area = 1/2 * base * height
1. Base = 6
Not sufficient.
2. The largest side is always the hypotenuse.
base^2 + height^2 = 10^2
We cannot calculate the base and height from this information.
But if maximum of this product were less that or equal to 25*2, then this information would be sufficient.
To get the maximum, base = height
2*base^2 = 100
base^2 = 50
base = 5√2 = height
The maximum of this product is 50.
Sufficient.
Choose
B
