Question Number 99 by sagarwal last updated on 25/Jan/15

The perimeter of an isosceles right−angled  triangle is 2p. Find out the area of the triangle.

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{perimeter}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{isosceles}\:\mathrm{right}−\mathrm{angled} \\ $$$$\mathrm{triangle}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{2}{p}.\:\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{out}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{area}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{triangle}. \\ $$

lets ΔABC be a triangle with lenght a,b,c  by it isosceles mean that two or more angle and lenght are equal  since its right angle and isosceles, we have a angle 90°, then the other will be 45°  then we gets seting a,b catetes  a=b  a^2 +b^2 =2a^2 =c^2   the perimet is  a+b+c=2a+c=2p  then the area is  A=((ab)/2)=(a^2 /2)  solving  2a^2 −c^2 =0  2a+c=2p  c=2(p−a)  c^2 =4p^2 −8ap+4a^2   −2a^2 +8ap−4p^2 =0  2a^2 −8ap+4p^2 =0  Δ=(−8p)^2 −4(2)(4p^2 )  =64p^2 −16p^2 =48p^2   a=(((8±2(√(12)))p)/4)=(2±(√(12)))p  c=2p−2a  we gets  a=(2+(√(12)))p  c=2((√(12))−1)p  A=(((2+(√(12)))^2 p^2 )/2)=(((16+4(√(12)))p^2 )/2)=(8+2(√(12)))p^2
