### Instruction: The side lengths of a triangle are 14 cm, 48 cm and 50 cm. How many square centimeters are in the area of the triangle?### Response: I recognize that this is a right triangle, because 14^2 + 48^2 = 50^2 by the Pythagorean theorem.
So I can use the formula for the area of a right triangle, which is half the product of the lengths of the legs.
The legs are 14 cm and 48 cm, so the area is (1/2) * 14 * 48.
Multiplying, I get 336 square centimeters.
