The length of the sides of the triangle is 6cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
the hypotenuse of an isosceles is 6√2cm
To find:
length of the sides of the triangle
Solution:
The triangle is an isosceles triangle
So the length of the other sides of the triangle will be equal
Let's assume the side is x cm long
Using Pythagoras theorem
(hypotenuse)² = (side 1)²+ (side 2)²
Adding the values
( 6√2)²= (x)²+(x)²
(36 x 2) = 2x²
72 = 2x²
∴ 2x² = 72
∴ x² = 72/2
∴ x² = 36
∴ x = √36
∴ x = ±6
But the length cannot be negative
∴ x = 6 cm
Thus, the sides of the isosceles triangle are 6cm & 6cm
