triangle xyz is an isosceles right triangle . if side xy is longer than side yz , and the area of the triangle is 36 , what is the measure of side xy ?
"ans c . . 12 . . xy being larger means it is the hyp . . area = ( 1 / 2 ) * ( yz ) ^ 2 = 36 or yz = 3 * \ sqrt { 2 } . . therefore hyp = xy = 12"
sqrt(add(power(multiply(sqrt(36), sqrt(const_2)), const_2), power(multiply(sqrt(36), sqrt(const_2)), const_2)))
