Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 4✓2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: it is a isoceles right triangle.
So,. AB=BC
By using Pythagoras theorem:
AC² = AB² + BC²
AC² = AB² + AB²
AC² = 2AB²
AB² = AC²/2
Area of triangle = 1/2 ×AB×BC
8 = 1/2×AB²
8 = 1/2×AC²/2
8 = AC²/4
AC² = 32
AC=√32
AC=4√2
Therefore length of hypotenuse = 4√2 cm
