Question

Please help soon! Will give 5 starts, thanks, and brainliest! Thank you! The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 6sqrt(2) inches and one angle is 45 degrees. What is the number of square inches in the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

18 square inches look at graph

Answer 2

Answer:

Area = 18 sq. inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse = 6√2

as it is a right angled triangle and one of the angles is 45°,

=> the other angle is also 45°.

According to 45°-45°-90° theorem,

the side is 1/√2 times the hypotenuse.

Therefore, side = 6√2 × 1/√2

=6 inches.

Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 6 × 6

= 1/2 × 36

=18 sq. inches
