Answer 1

May be my answer helps you

An isosceles triangle contains two sides of equal lengths.

According to Pythagoras theorem, in a right angled triangle.

(Hypotenuse)2=(base)2+(height)2

Given that, (Hypotenuse)2=50 m

Let base = height = x m

According to Pythagoras theorem,

x2+x2=50

2x2=50

x2=25

x=5 m
