Question

An isosceles right triangle has area 8 cm square . Find the length of its hypotenuse.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is a right angled isosceles triangle we can use the formula 1/2 × Base × height

as it is an isosceles triangle here base = height

so the formula will be : 1/2×base×base

let the base be x

so ,

$\frac{1}{2} \times {x}^{2} = 8 \\ \\ {x}^{2} = 8 \times 2 \\ \\ {x}^{2} = 16 \\ \\ x = \sqrt{16} = 4 \\ x = 4$

hypotenuse = root (base square+ base square )
