The length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose one side is 4 cm is
Given that one side of isosceles right triangle is 4√2 cm.
We know that in isosceles triangle two sides are equal.
In isosceles triangle ABC, let AB and AC be two equal sides of measure 4√2 cm.
We know that the Pythagoras theorem state that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Now, in right triangle ABC,
⇒ BC2 = AB2 + AC2
⇒ BC2 = (4√2)2 + (4√2)2
= 32 + 32
= 64
∴ BC = 8 cm
