Question

In an isosceles triangle the measure of one angle is 90° and base = altitude. Find the length of the hypotenuse.

Answer 1

Explanation:

hypotenuse^2=alt^2+base^2

(a)^2=x^2+x^2

a^2=2x^2

a=√2x^2

a=x√2 cm.

Answer 2

hypotenuse^2=alt^2+base^2

(a)^2=x^2+x^2

a^2=2x^2

a=√2x^2

a=x√2 cm.
