Question

Please help me to find the answer !!
The two legs of a right triangle are equal, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is 200cm. Find the length of each leg.

Answer 1

Define x:

The the equal legs be x

Solve x:

The square of the length of the hypotenuse is 200cm

a² + b² = c²

x² + x² = 200

2x² = 200

x² = 100

x = √100

x = 10 cm

Answer: The length of each leg is 10 cm

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

10 cm

EXPLAINATION :-

Let the equal legs be x

According to Question ,

x² + x² = 200

2x² = 200

x² = 100

Now , We have to take square root

And as we know

√ 100 = 10

Therefore ,

The length of each leg is 10 cm
