Question

the area of a right isosceles triangle is 24.5 cm². find the length of its base and height​

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of its base is 7 cm and hypotenuse is $7\sqrt{2} \hspace {2mm} cm$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

      The area of a right isosceles triangle is 24.5 cm².

We know that,

Area of the right isosceles triangle can be calculated by using the formula ,

Mathematically ,

                                   Area =$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (side)^2$

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{p^2+b^2} \\ \\ hypotenuse=\sqrt{7^2+7^2}\\ \\ hypotenuse=\sqrt{49+49} \\ \\ hypotenuse=7\sqrt{2} cm$

The hypotenuse of the triangle is $7\sqrt{2} cm$

                      The length of its base is 7 cm and height is also 7 cm.
