Answer:
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.
