Question

The length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose one side is $4\sqrt{2}\mathrm{cm}$ is

(a) 12 cm
(b) 8 cm
(c) $8\sqrt{2}\mathrm{cm}$
(d) $12\sqrt{2}\mathrm{cm}$

Answer 1

Given: One side of isosceles right triangle is 4√2cm

To find: Length of the hypotenuse.

We know that in isosceles triangle two sides are equal.

In isosceles right triangle ABC, let AB and AC be the two equal sides of measure 4√2cm.

Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get

Hence correct answer is .
