Figure 1 shows the triangle ABC\displaystyle ABC
ABC=90AB=(2+45)cmBC=(a+b5)cmwhereaandb are integers.\angle ABC = 90^\circ \quad AB = (2 + 4\sqrt{5}) \mathrm{cm} \quad BC = (a + b\sqrt{5}) \mathrm{cm} \quad \mathrm{where} a \mathrm{and} b \text{ are integers.}
The area of triangle ABC=(34+115)cm2\text{The area of triangle } ABC = (34 + 11\sqrt{5}) \mathrm{cm}^2
