Area of a triangle is,

[tex] a = \frac{1}{2} ( bh)[/tex]

Substitute the numbers,

[tex]210 = \frac{1}{2} (35 \times x)[/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]

The above number is the base.

Using the pythagorean method let's calculate for "c" the hypotenuse.

[tex]c = \sqrt{ {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} } [/tex]

Substitute

[tex]c = \sqrt{ {35}^{2} + {12}^{2} } [/tex]

Solve,

[tex]c = \sqrt{1225 + 144} [/tex]

Simplify,

[tex] c = \sqrt{1369} [/tex]

Calculate one last time,

[tex]c = {37} [/tex]

The hypotenuse is 37 inches.
