Question

An isosceles right angled triangle has area 12.50 sq.cm. The length of the hypotenuse is?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ABC be the given triangle right angled at B with AB=BC — (1)

AREA OF TRIANGLE = 12CM^2

Area of triangle = 1/2bh

==》 1/2 × BC × AB = 12

==》1/2 × BC × BC = 12

==》1/2 × BC^2 = 12

BC^2 = 24

BC = 4.9CM (APPROX )

Length of the base= 4.9 cm (approx )
