Answer:
8 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangle is isosceles the sides are the same
Let the sides be x
We know that we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse
x^2+x^2 = (4 sqrt(2))^2
2x^2 =16(2)
2x^2 = 32
Divide by 2
2x^2/ 32/2
x^2 = 16
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(16)
x = 4
The area of the triangle is
A =1/2 bh
A = 1/2 (4) (4)
A = 1/2(16)
A = 8
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c = [tex]4\sqrt{2}[/tex]
[tex]c^{2} = 32[/tex]
a^2 + b^2 = 32
a=b (isosceles triangle)
a=b=4
base = 4
height = 4
area = 1/2 bh = 1/2(4)(4) = 8
