Question

An isosceles right angle triangle has area 8cmsq .the length of its hypotenuse is With working out answer plz .

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is under root 32

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be x.

Therefore, the height will be x only( Iscoceles right triangle)

Area = 0.5 * base * height

8 sqcm = 0.5 * x^2

16 sqcm = x^2

Therefore x = √(16)

x = 4 cm

Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Height^2

H^2 = 4^2+ 4^2

H^2 = 16 + 16

H^2 = 32

H = √(32)

H = 4√2

Therefore, hypotenuse will be equal to 4√2 cm.
