Question

An isosceles triangle is a right triangle has an area 8 cm . The lengtth of hypotenuse

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypotenuse = 5.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle two sides are equal.

Here the the base and the perpendicular of the triangle are equal in length.

Area of triangle = 8cm^2

8cm² = 1/2 × b × h

Put b & h as X

16 = X²

X = 4 cm

So​, the length of base and perpendicular are 4cm.

Using Pythagoras theorem

H²2 = B² + P²

( H is hypotenuse,B is base & P is perpendicular)

H² = 4² + 4²

H² = 16 + 16

H = √32

H = 4√2

H = 5.65 cm

H = 5.7 cm
