Question

find the area of a right angle isoceles triangle whose hypotenuse is 8cms.​

Answer 1

Answer

By Pythagoras theorem:

Side = 4 cm

Area = 1/2 × b × h

Area = 1/2 × 4 × 4

=> 8 sq. cm

Answer 2

An isoceles triangle is a traingle whose two sides are equal.

• Let the sides be M.

• Hypotenuse = 8 cm

By Pythagoras theoram

=> H² = P² + B²

=> 8 = M² + M²

=> 2M² = 8

=> M² = 4

=> M = 2

____________________________

Area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h

=> 1/2 × 2 × 2

=> 2 cm²

___________________________

2 cm² is the area of a right angle isoceles triangle.
