Question

A isoceles triangle has area 8 cm^2 .Find the length of its hypotinuse

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypotenous is 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the perpendicular and base are equal in length.

So Area of triangle = 1/2 x b x h

Let b = h = y

1/2 x y x y = 8

y² = 16

y = 4

So Perpendicular = Base = 4 cm

Now by Pythagoras theorem,

4² + 4² = √ 16+ 16 = √32 = 4√2 cm

So required hypotenuse = 4√2 cm
