Question

A right angled triangle is isosceles.If the square of hypotenuse is 50 m square what is the length of each of its sides? Please give in complete process

Answer 1

Let it be triangle ABC ,right angled at B

AC is hypotenuse and AB and BC are equal.

Given that AC^2=50m.

By pythogorus theorem,

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

50 = 2AB^2

50/2=AB^2

AB^2=25

AB=BC=5m.
