Answer 1

GJ = 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle FGH is an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 16 units

let say other two sides = x  units

then x² + x² = 16²

=> 2x²  = 256

=> x² = 128

Area of triangle = (1/2) * x * x

= (1/2) x²

= (1/2) * 128

= 64 sq units

Area of triangle = (1/2) * 16 * GJ

=>  (1/2) * 16 * GJ = 64 sq units

=> GJ = 8 units
