The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 4sqrt(2) units. How many square units are in the area of the triangle?

we square 4sqrt2 to get 32 and it is isocles so the sides are sqrt16 and sqrt16 and the area is 4*4/2=4*2=8

Use Pythagoras's Theorem:

H^2 =2S^2

[4sqrt(2)]^2 = 2S^2

32 = 2S^2

S^2 =32 / 2 = 16

S = Sqrt(16) = 4 - The 2 sides of an isosceles Right triangle

Area =[Base x Height] / 2

Area =[4 x 4] / 2 = 8 units^2, or use Heron's Formula to find the same.

A = ( 4√ 2 )2 / 4 = 8 u2
