When the question ask "what's the area (or anything thing else)", it's expecting only 1 value as the answer. If you can't come up with a number, or you can come up with more than 1 number, then the statement is deeemd insufficient.


Perfecto! Agree with ywilfred.

With the data provided, you need to:
1. decide whether the information is suffucient.
2. find a SINGLE value for the data required.

I'm pretty sure you are thinking too much, because I had that same problem when I was doing my prep :lol:

Yup, I'd go for C as well.

from i, there is no way to know which two sides are in question
from ii, we know that n&s form the right angle and since we know their product, we can get the area.
