To find the side length of a right triangle when you have two sides, you can use the Pythagorean theorem:

\[
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\]

where \(c\) is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side), and \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the other two sides.

Given:
- One side \(a = 105\) m
- Another side \(b = 208\) m

If these are the two legs (the sides adjacent to the right angle), you can find the hypotenuse \(c\):

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

Substituting in the values:

\[
c = \sqrt{105^2 + 208^2}
\]

Calculating the squares:

\[
105^2 = 11025
\]
\[
208^2 = 43264
\]

Now add them together:

\[
c = \sqrt{11025 + 43264}
\]
\[
c = \sqrt{54289}
\]

Now, calculate the square root:

\[
c \approx 233 \text{ m}
\]

So, if 105 m and 208 m are the legs, the hypotenuse is approximately **233 m**.

If instead, you need to find the length of one of the legs and you know it is the hypotenuse (let's say 208 m), then you can rearrange the Pythagorean theorem:

\[
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\]

If \(c = 208\) m, and we assume \(a = 105\) m:

\[
105^2 + b^2 = 208^2
\]
\[
11025 + b^2 = 43264
\]
\[
b^2 = 43264 - 11025
\]
\[
b^2 = 32239
\]

Taking the square root:

\[
b \approx \sqrt{32239} \approx 179.3 \text{ m}
\]

So, if 208 m is the hypotenuse and 105 m is one of the legs, the other leg would be approximately **179.3 m**. You can clarify which triangle dimensions you have if needed!

To find the area of a rectangle, you use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

Assuming the sides of the rectangle are the values you provided, 105 m and 208 m, we can calculate the area as follows:

\[
\text{Area} = 105 \, \text{m} \times 208 \, \text{m}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
\text{Area} = 21840 \, \text{m}^2
\]

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is **21,840 square meters**.

To find the side length of a right triangle with the sides measuring 120 m and 210 m, you can again use the Pythagorean theorem, which is given by:

\[
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\]

where \(c\) is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side), and \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the legs of the triangle.

### Case 1: Finding the hypotenuse

If 120 m and 210 m are the lengths of the two legs \(a\) and \(b\):

\[
c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{120^2 + 210^2}
\]

Calculating the squares:

\[
120^2 = 14400
\]
\[
210^2 = 44100
\]

Now add them:

\[
c = \sqrt{14400 + 44100} = \sqrt{58500}
\]

Calculating the square root:

\[
c \approx 241.8 \text{ m}
\]

So, if 120 m and 210 m are the legs, the length of the hypotenuse \(c\) is approximately **241.8 m**.

### Case 2: Finding a leg if one side is the hypotenuse

If one of the sides is the hypotenuse (let's assume 210 m is the hypotenuse), and you want to find the other leg \(b\) given \(a = 120\) m:

Using the rearranged Pythagorean theorem:

\[
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\]

Thus,

\[
210^2 = 120^2 + b^2
\]

Calculating the squares:

\[
44100 = 14400 + b^2
\]

Now solve for \(b^2\):

\[
b^2 = 44100 - 14400
\]
\[
b^2 = 29700
\]

Now take the square root:

\[
b \approx \sqrt{29700} \approx 172.3 \text{ m}
\]

So, if 210 m is the hypotenuse and 120 m is one of the legs, the other leg \(b\) is approximately **172.3 m**.

### Summary:

- If both 120 m and 210 m are legs, then the hypotenuse is approximately **241.8 m**.
- If 210 m is the hypotenuse, then the length of the other leg is approximately **172.3 m**.

To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

In a right triangle, the two legs serve as the base and the height. Based on your earlier mention of a triangle with sides of 120 m and 210 m, you can use these two lengths as the base and height.

Assuming that:
- Base \( = 120 \, \text{m} \)
- Height \( = 210 \, \text{m} \)

Now, plug these values into the area formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 120 \, \text{m} \times 210 \, \text{m}
\]

Calculating it step-by-step:

1. Multiply the base and height:
\[
120 \times 210 = 25200 \, \text{m}^2
\]

2. Now, take half of that product:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 25200 = 12600 \, \text{m}^2
\]

Thus, the area of the right triangle is **12,600 square meters**.
