Question

THE LENGTH OF TWO SIDES OF A RIGHT TRIANGLE ARE EQUAL. THE SQUARE OF HYPOTENUSE IS 50m2 FIND THE LENGTH OF EACH SIDE ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:An isosceles triangle contains two sides of equal lengths.

According to Pythagoras theorem, in a right angled triangle.

(Hypotenuse)2=(base)2+(height)2  

Given that,  (Hypotenuse)2=50 m

Let base = height =  x m

According to Pythagoras theorem,

x2+x2=50  

2x2=50  

x2=25  

x=5 m

So, length of base and height of the triangle is 5 m.
