    If the area of an isosceles right triangle is \[8\,c{{m}^{2}},\]what is its perimeter?

    A) \[\left( 8+\sqrt{2} \right)cm\]                   

    B) \[\left( 8+4\sqrt{2} \right)cm\]

    C)   \[\left( 4+8\sqrt{2} \right)cm\] 

    D)   \[100\sqrt{3}\,{{m}^{2}}\]      

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Sides of an isosceles right triangle are a, a and \[\sqrt{2}a.\] Area of isosceles right triangle \[=\frac{1}{2}{{a}^{2}}\Rightarrow 8c{{m}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}{{a}^{2}}\Rightarrow a=4\,cm\] Perimeter of the triangle \[=(a+a+\sqrt{2}a)cm\] \[=(8+4\sqrt{2})cm\]
