Draw a right angle triangle ABC.
\n" ); document.write( "Angle B=90*
\n" ); document.write( "angle A=45*
\n" ); document.write( "Angle C = 180 - (90+ 45)
\n" ); document.write( "angle C = 45*
\n" ); document.write( "since angle A=angle C= 45*
\n" ); document.write( "therefore triangle ABC is a isocesles triangle,
\n" ); document.write( "let hypotenuse BC=12 cm
\n" ); document.write( "let other two sides be equal:AB=AC=x
\n" ); document.write( "by using pythagoras theorem,
\n" ); document.write( "BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2
\n" ); document.write( "12^2 = x^2 + x^2
\n" ); document.write( "144 = 2 x^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 =144/2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 72
\n" ); document.write( "take a square root of 72. Then u wil get the vale of x=8.5 cm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
