Question

The square of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right angle triangle is 72 sq. cm. What is the length of each side?

Answer 1

Dear Student,
Let one side be x cm.

Since the triangle is isosceles right-angled triangle,

=>72=x²+x²=2x²

=>72/2=x²

=>36 = x²

=>x=6 cm

So, the length of each side=6 cm
