Correct Answer: 8 cm
Solution : Given: The perimeter of an isosceles right triangle is $8(\sqrt{2}+1)$ cm.
The total of a triangle's sides is its perimeter. Let the isosceles right triangle have equal sides of $x$ cm, then its hypotenuse is $\sqrt2x$ cm. According to the question, $x+x+\sqrt 2x=8(\sqrt{2}+1)$ ⇒ $2x+\sqrt 2x=8(\sqrt{2}+1)$ ⇒ $\sqrt2x(\sqrt 2+1)=8(\sqrt{2}+1)$ ⇒ $x=\frac{8}{\sqrt2}$ ⇒ $x=4\sqrt2$ cm The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle = $\sqrt2\times 4\sqrt2=8$ cm. Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.
