In the diagram to the right, triangle PQR has a right angle at Q and line segment QS is perpendicular to PR. If line segment PS has a length of 16 and line segment SR has a length of 9, what is the area of triangle PQR?

72
96

108
150
200

Correct answer is d

I approached this using the 45-45-90 principle and split it into two triangles.
Can somebody explain if this is a wrong approach - since I didnt get the same answer
