Question

the length of its third side.
3. The two legs of a right triangle are equal and the square of its hypotenuse is 50 cm. Find
length of each leg.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

two equal sides be x

by Pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse sq.= x sq.+ x sq.

50=2x.sq

50/2=x.sq

25= x.sq

5=sq.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the sides be x.

Therefore 2 sides will be equal to x+x=2x.

Applying Pythagoras theorem,i.e.,

hypotenuse.sq=base.sq*attitude.sq

50= x.sq*x.sq

50=2x.sq

50/2=x.sq

25=x.sq

√25=x

5=x

Therefore, each side is 5cm.
