You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The moment you see 90degrees in a Triangle, you must realise that it is a Right Angled Triangle and therefore it follows Pythagoras' Theorem
\n" ); document.write( "This theorem states that the Square of the Hypotenuse of a Right Angled Triangle is equal to the Sum of Square of the other 2 sides
\n" ); document.write( "You have the Hypotenuse as 41
\n" ); document.write( "Since it is a an Isosceles Triangle, the other two sides are equal let's say X
\n" ); document.write( "Then by Pythagoras' Theorem
\n" ); document.write( "\"41%5E2+=+X%5E2+%2B+X%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2X%5E2+=+41%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"X%28sqrt%282%29%29++=+41\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"X+=+41%2F%28sqrt%282%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Even the 30-60-90 triangle will follow the same rule. However since the sides are not equal you will have to find them out using Sine/Cosine/Tan etc
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
