The only isosceles truiangle that has a right angle is a 45-45-90 degree triangle. It is half a square of 40.5 cm^2 area, divided along a diagonal.
The equal side lengths would be sqrt40.5 = 6.364 cm
The hypotenuse would be that times the square root of 2, or 9.00 cm
jafar has an isosceles triangle with an area of 20.25cm squared, what is the length of the side facing the right angle?

The answer is exactly nine, since
sqrt(40.5)*sqrt(2) = sqrt(81)
I should have seen that.
