The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is what is its area? |
|
Answer» LET the base be a PERPENDICULAR = a Hypotenuse = sqrt ( a^2 + a^2) => sqrt ( 32) = sqrt ( a^2 + a^2) => 32 = 2a^2 => a^2 = 16 => a = 4 Base = 4 cm Perpendicular = 4 cm Area = Base × Perpendicular / 2 = 4 × 4 / 2 = 8 cm^2 |
