Question

An isosceles right triangle has a base and height with the same length. If the area of the triangles is 32 square centimeters, how long are the base and height?

Answer 1

8 cm.

Explanation:

area = 1/2 * base * height = 32

since base = height

therefore 1/2 * base * base = 32

base^2 = 32*2

base = 8 cm.

height = 8 cm.
