Question

The length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles
right angled triangle is 24. Find the area
of the triangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

isosceles right triangle implies base=perpendicular=x(lets say)

let Area be A

then A=1/2 * base *perpendicular

A=1/2* x *x

2A= x^2

by Pythagoras theorem we have

24^2=x^2+x^2

24^2=2A+2A

A=144
