Question

garden in the form of a right angle triangle has an area 72 square metre .if the two sides comprising the right angle are equal what would be the length of the sides

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: let the two equal sides of the right angled triangle be x

area of the triangle = 72m sq.

= 1/2 × base × height = 72

1/2 × x × x = 72

x sq. = 72×2

x sq. = 144

x = √144

x = 12

therefore, the two sides are of 12 metres
