jafar has an isosceles triangle with an area of 20.25cm squared, what is the length of the side facing the right angle?
The only isosceles truiangle that has a right angle is a 45-45-90 degree triangle. It is half a square of 40.5 cm^2 area, divided along a diagonal.
The equal side lengths would be sqrt40.5 = 6.364 cm
The hypotenuse would be that times the square root of 2, or 9.00 cm
thNKS!
The answer is exactly nine, since
sqrt(40.5)*sqrt(2) = sqrt(81)
I should have seen that.
You're welcome!
To find the length of the side facing the right angle, we need to know additional information about the triangle. Specifically, we need either the length of one of the equal sides or the length of the base.
In an isosceles triangle, we know that two sides are equal in length. However, without that information, we cannot directly calculate the length of the side facing the right angle.
If you have any additional details about the triangle, such as the length of one of the equal sides or the base, please provide it so we can assist you further.
