Q7 of 99 Page 267

If the length of hypotenuse of an isosceles right-angled triangle is 12√2 cm. Let us write by calculating the area of this triangle.

Given, length of hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle = 12√ 2 cm


Let the equal sides of the isosceles right-angled triangle be x cm


But according to the Pythagoras theorem


x2 +x2 = (12√ 2)2


2x2 = 144 × 2


x = √ 144


x = 12 cm


Area of isosceles right-angled triangle


= where x is the equal side of isosceles triangle


Area =


=


=72 cm2
