1. **Stating the problem:** We have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length 15 and one leg of length 10. We need to find the area of the triangle and the length of the other leg.
2. **Formula used:** For a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem applies:
$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$
where $c$ is the hypotenuse, and $a$, $b$ are the legs.
The area $A$ of a right triangle is:
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times b$$
3. **Find the missing leg:** Let the unknown leg be $b$. Given $a=10$, $c=15$:
$$10^2 + b^2 = 15^2$$
$$100 + b^2 = 225$$
$$b^2 = 225 - 100 = 125$$
$$b = \sqrt{125} = \sqrt{25 \times 5} = 5\sqrt{5}$$
4. **Calculate the area:**
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5\sqrt{5} = 5 \times 5\sqrt{5} = 25\sqrt{5}$$
5. **Final answers:**
- The other leg length is $5\sqrt{5}$.
- The area of the triangle is $25\sqrt{5}$.
These results give the exact values for the triangle's dimensions and area.
