Question Image

ABC be a right angle isosceles triangle.

Extremities of hypotenuse of triangle are A=(2, 4), B=(4, 2)

Length of hypotenuse 

AB=(4-2)2+(2-4)2       =4+4       =22

 Since it is an isosceles triangle, let us assume its height and base = a

from le ACB, AC2+BC2=AB2

 a2+a2=8 2a2=8 a2=4  a=2

By verifying options, first option only satisfies the condition AC = BC = 2
