Answer 1

Answer:

It’s a right isosceles triangle with one side, the “base,” 8. It’s not clear whether this is one of the shorts sides or the hypotenuse. Let’s do it both ways.

Short side is 8, other side is also 8, one is base, one is altitude, so the area is

12(8)(8)=32 cm212(8)(8)=32 cm2

Hypotenuse 8, the short sides must be 8/2–√8/2, so area is

1282√82√=16 cm2
