What is the perimeter of an isosceles right angled triangle. The area of the isosceles right angled triangle is 50. Choices.
A) 25
B) 36
C) 25
D) 30
E) 34.14

Rationale: an isosceles right angled triangle has both the base and height same . the area of an isosceles triangle = 1 / 2 * base * height since height = base 1 / 2 * height * height = 1 / 2 * height ^ 2 = 50 height ^ 2 = 100 height = 10 = base since we know the base and height . we will calculate the hypotenuse using pythagoras base ^ 2 + height ^ 2 = hypotenuse ^ 2 10 ^ 2 + 10 ^ 2 = hypotenuse ^ 2 hypotenuse ^ 2 = 200 hypotenuse = 14.14 perimeter of the triangle = 10 + 10 + 14.14 = 34.14 ans : e
Answer: E
