Question

The hypotenuse of an isosclese right triangle is x unit what is the length of the base of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is isosceles, angles are 90, 45 and 45 degree.

Base will be xcos45 that is X/√2

Answer 2

Answer:

since it is an isosceles

$x = hyotenuse$

In triangle ABC

angle B and angle C are acute (i.e.,45)

$cos(45) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} }$

by definition:

$\frac{hyp}{adj} = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} }$

but X = hyo

$Therefore, base(i.e., ajdecent) = \frac{x}{ \sqrt{2} }$
