Question

Find the area of an isosceles right triangle whose one of the equal sides is 10 cm long

Answer 1

area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

ln the given base and height are 10 and 10

so, the area of the triangle = 1/2 * 10 * 10

                                            = 50

Answer 2

It is a right angle triangle

⇒ the two equal sides must be the base and the height

Find the area of the triangle:

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area of triangle = 1/2 x 10 x 10

Area of triangle = 50 m²

Answer: The area of the triangle is 50 m²
