    The area of the right triangular tabletop is calculated through the equation,

    A = 0.5 (L₁) (L₂)

    The area, as stated above, is equal to 400 in². Substituting the known values to the equation above,

    400 = 0.5 (16 in) (L₂)

    The value of L₂ is equal to 50 inches. Thus, the second length is equal to 50 inches.
