Question

If an isosceles right triangle has as area of 2x^2+2x+1/2, what is its perimeter?

Answer 1

what is the area of an isoceles right angled triangle ?

Answer 2

[2x ^2+2x+1/2]

Answer 3

lol not that I mean formula for area ?

Answer 4

:))) aaa, hb/2 ??

Answer 5

yep :) ...but note it is given isoceles so b=h !

Answer 6

yeees, I know, but , ok Look==> If hb/2= 2x ^2+2x+1/2 so it would be hb= 4x^2+4x+1, theeen?

Answer 7

well actually this is a tricky question ... give me a minute

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

well first try simplifying the given quadratic :)

Answer 10

tell me what you get?

Answer 11

2(x+1)(x+1) ???

Answer 12

noo, 2(x+1/2)(x+1/2) ?

Answer 13

I get [(2x + 1)^2]/2 on simplification

Answer 14

yep what you got is right

Answer 15

I just took the two inside :)

Answer 16

now area of any triangle is given by 0.5 *base * height...equate this to above eqn to get base=height = (2x+1) each..

Answer 17

Thankss, you help me always, you are very kind :))

Answer 18

yw :) ...can you do the rest ?

Answer 19

yes I got it ))

Answer 20

wow great ! :)
