Isosceles right triangle

Area of an isosceles right triangle is 18 dm². Calculate the length of its base.

Correct answer:

c =  8.4853 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} S=18 \\ S=ab\mathrm{/}2 \\ a=b \\ a=\sqrt{2\cdot S}=\sqrt{2\cdot 18}=6 \\ b=a=6 \\ c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=\sqrt{6^2+6^2}=6\sqrt{2}=8.4853\text{ dm} \end{gathered}$$
