    Question

    A right-angled isosceles triangle has an area of 50

    square units. Its hypotenuse is (in units):
    A 10√3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5√5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10√2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5√2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the legs of the right-angled isosceles triangle be x units each. The area is given by 12 Γ— x Γ— x = 50β€…β€Š ⟹ β€…β€ŠxΒ²/2 = 50β€…β€Š ⟹ β€…β€ŠxΒ² =100β€…β€Š ⟹ β€…β€Šx = 10 The hypotenuse = x2 + x2 = √2x2 = √(2 Γ— 100) = √200 = 10√2
