Question

Calculate the side of an isosceles right angle triangle of hypotenuse 52cm,please show workin

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles right triangle the equal sides are at 90 degree angle.

we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the side length

let the side length of equal sides be = x

x²+x² = 52²

2x² = 2704

x² = 2704/2

x² = 1352

x= 36.76 cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that,

two sides of isosceles triangle are equal so,

Let's the sides be x cm.

now,

Using Pythagoras theorem

h^2 = P^2+b^2

52*52 = x*x + x*x

2704 = 2x^2

1352 = x^2

36.77 =x

hence,

the other two sides are 36.77 cm and 36.77cm

I hope it helps you!!!
