Question

An isosceles right triangle has area 4 sq. cm. the length of its hypotenuse is
a. √32
b. √16
c. √48
d. √24

Answer 1

Answer:

√16

Step-by-step explanation:

area of ∆ =1/2*b*h

area of iso ∆=1/2*b*b

4=1/2*b²

8=b²

√8=b

now find hypotenuse,

AC²=AB²+BC²

AC²=√8²+√8²

AC²=8+8=16

AC=√16
