Question 676470: leg xy of the right triangle in the diagram is twice as long as leg yz
if the area is 36cm2 ..what is the length in cm of leg xy Answer by sachi(548) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let leg yz=a then leg xy=2a
area= 1/2(xy*yz)=1/2(a*2a)=a^2
the area is 36cm2
so a^2=36
so a=6
then leg yz=6 & leg xy=12
ans
