The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 14. What is the area of the triangle?
+36916 isosceles means each LEG is the same length
Use pythag theorem to find leg length
L^2 + L^2 = 14^2
2L^2 = 196
L^2 = 98
L = sqrt 98 Now area = 1/2 * L * L = 49 units2
+874 45-45-90=x-x-xsqrt(2)
xsqrt(2)=14
x=14/sqrt(2)
x=14sqrt(2)/2
x=7sqrt(2)
area = x*x/2 = 7*7*2 / 2 = 7*7=49
