Question

The area of an isosceles right angled triangle is 32 sq cms, then the length of its each equal side is
b) 4 cm
c) 6 cm
d) 16 cm [ ]
a) 8 cm
​

Answer 1

The answer is option a) 8 cm

Explanation :-
Let the equal sides be x
Both the equal sides can respectively be base and height.

1/2 base height = 32 sq. cm
1/2 x^2 = 32 sq.cm
x^2 = 64
x = √64
x = 8 cm

Therefore, the equal sides measure 8 cm each
