The correct Answer is:
To find the area of an isosceles right-angled triangle given its perimeter \( P \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of the triangle An isosceles right-angled triangle has two equal sides and one right angle. Let's denote the equal sides as \( a \). The angles opposite these sides are both \( 45^\circ \). ### Step 2: Express the hypotenuse in terms of \( a \) Using the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse \( AC \) can be expressed as: \[ AC = \sqrt{a^2 + a^2} = \sqrt{2a^2} = a\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 3: Write the perimeter equation The perimeter \( P \) of the triangle can be expressed as the sum of all its sides: \[ P = a + a + a\sqrt{2} = 2a + a\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( a \) Rearranging the perimeter equation gives: \[ P = a(2 + \sqrt{2}) \] From this, we can isolate \( a \): \[ a = \frac{P}{2 + \sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the area of the triangle The area \( A \) of a triangle is given by: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] In our case, both the base and height are equal to \( a \): \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times a = \frac{1}{2} a^2 \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( a \) into the area formula Now substituting \( a = \frac{P}{2 + \sqrt{2}} \) into the area formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{P}{2 + \sqrt{2}}\right)^2 \] Calculating \( a^2 \): \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{P^2}{(2 + \sqrt{2})^2} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the expression Now, we need to simplify \( (2 + \sqrt{2})^2 \): \[ (2 + \sqrt{2})^2 = 4 + 2 + 4\sqrt{2} = 6 + 4\sqrt{2} \] Thus, the area becomes: \[ A = \frac{P^2}{2(6 + 4\sqrt{2})} \] ### Step 8: Final expression for the area So, the final expression for the area of the isosceles right-angled triangle is: \[ A = \frac{P^2}{12 + 8\sqrt{2}} \]
