Question : The perimeter of a certain isosceles right triangle is $10+10\sqrt{2}$ cm. What is the length of the Hypotenuse of the triangle?
Option 1: $5$ cm
Option 2: $10$ cm
Option 3: $5\sqrt{2}$ cm
Option 4: $10\sqrt{2}$ cm
Correct Answer: $10$ cm
Solution : \(\text{Perimeter} = \text{Sum of all sides}\) Sides of an isosceles right triangle are $a, a, and $\sqrt{2}a$$ So, \(\text{Perimeter} = a+a+\sqrt{2}a \) \(=10+10\sqrt{2} \) ⇒ \((2a+\sqrt{2}a)=(10+10\sqrt{2}) \) ⇒ \(\sqrt{2}a(1+\sqrt{2})=10(1+\sqrt{2}) \) ⇒ \(a=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} \) ⇒ BC (Hypotenuse) = \(\sqrt{2}a\) ⇒ \(\frac{\sqrt{2} \times 10}{\sqrt{2}}=10\ \mathrm{cm} \) Hence, the correct answer is $10$ cm.
