Answer:

Let the two sides, p,b of given triangle be x,x, as it is given that both the sides of the triangle are equal.

Square of hypotenuse, h is 50 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem:

h

+b

50=x

=25

x=

25

x=5

So the length of each side is 5 cm

Explanation:

  • Let the two sides, x,y of given triangle be x,x as it is given that both the sides of the triangle are equal.

  • Square of the third side ,z^2 is 128ft

  • Using Pythagoras theorem:

[tex] {z}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] 128 = {x}^{2} + {x}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]128 = 2 {x}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} = 128 \div 2[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} = 64[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

  • so the length of the other two side is 8.
