Question

an isosceles right triangle has aan isosceles right triangle has area 8 cm square the length of its hypotenuse is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for solving the legs of an isosceles triangle is *let x be the legs of the isosceles triangle*   $x=\frac{hypotenuse}{\sqrt{2}}$.  To solve for the hypotenuse, we are going to cross multiply the equation therefore hypotenuse= x$\sqrt{2}$.

Formula of  the area for Isosceles triangle is A=bh/2.

Area is given which is 8cm.

substitute  $8=\frac{(x\sqrt{2})^{2} }{2}$ after this, solve for x then substitute the value of x to the formula of the hypotenuse.
