Question

An isosceles right triangle has area 8 cm2. The length of its hypotenuse is

Answer 1

Answer:

Both the perpendicular and base are equal in length.

So Area of triangle = 1/2 x b x h

Let b = h = y

1/2 x y x y = 8

y² = 16

y = 4

So Perpendicular = Base = 4 cm

Now by Pythagoras theorem,

4² + 4² = √ 16+ 16 = √32 = 4√2 cm

So required hypotenuse = 4√2 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

hypotenuse = 4√2 cm
