Step-by-step explanation:

a. Pythagoras formula stated above

so 9²+12²

81+144 is 225

√252 is 15cm

b. in this question well have to use surds

an isosceles triangle had a 90 and 2x45 degree angles

we hypotenuse is 10cm

√a²+a² =10cm

√2a² is 10cm which makes

a√2 equals 10

then rearrange

a=10/√2= 5√2

the answer is 5√2
