Question

An isosceles right angle triangle has area 8cm square. The length of its hypotenuse is :
a) square root 32cm
b) square root 16cm
c) square root 48cm
d) square root 24cm

Answer 1

Answer:

here is your answer for this

Answer 2

Answer:

a) √32

Step-by-step explanation:

area = ½ × base × height = 8 cm²

since base and height are equal,

½ × base² = 8 cm²

=> base² = 16 cm²

=> base = 4 cm

hypotenuse² = base² + height ² (base = height)

=> hypotenuse² = 4² + 4² = 32

=> hypotenuse = √32
