Question

The area of a square drawn on the hypotenuse of a right angled isosceles triangle is 24 cm^2. Workout the areas of the square drawn on each of the other two sides.

Answer 1

Given: the area of a square drawn on the hypotenuse of a right angled isosceles triangle is 24 square cm

To find: the area of the square drawn on each of the other two sides

Solution:

• Let the length of each of the isosceles sides be x cm

• Since the given triangle is right angled, we can write
• x² + x² = 24 [ using Pythagorean theorem ]
• or, 2x² = 24
• or, x² = 12

Answer: thus we conclude that the area of the square drawn on each of the other two sides is 12 square cm.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

other two side is 12 square cm.
