Question

A garden has the shape of isosceles right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 24 feet what is the area of the garden?

Answer 1

Let one side of the triangle be x,
Now, using Pythagoras Theorem,
x²+ x²= 24²
X= 12√2
Finally, using the area of triangle formula- 1/2 x 12√2 x 12√2= 144 feet
