SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS CONFUSING PLEASEE
An ISOSCELES right triangle has a hypotenuse of x√6 units what is the area of the triangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

x^2/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets go.

Isosceles right triangle means a 45-45-90 triangle.

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] times the leg.

Therefore, the length of the leg is x√3.

The area of a triangle is b(h)/2

In a 45-45-90 right triangle, the area is equal to the length of a leg squared/2

A leg = x√3. (x√3)^2 = 3x^2

The area of the triangle is 3x^2/2
