Question

the two legs of a right triangle are equal and the square of its hypotenuse is 50 cm square find the length of each leg​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be length of leg

so By Pythagoras theorem

x^2+x^2=50

2x^2=50

x^2=25

x=5

Answer 2

Answer:

let the other two legs be x cm

h² = p²+b² (by Pythagoras theorem)

50 = x²+x²

2x² = 50

x² = 50/2 =25

x = √25 =5 cm
