Question

An isosceles right triangle has area 32 cm2, then hypotenuse is 8 cm. State true or false. Justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equal sides be x

Area = 1/2 × B × H

32 = 1/2 × x × x

64 = x²

8 = x

Now by Pythogaras Theorem,

x² + x² = Hypotenuse²

64 + 64 = Hypotenuse²

√128 = Hypotenuse

8√2 = Hypotenuse

∴ Statement is false
