Apply Pythagoras rule .
Explanation:
"perpendicular"^2+"base"^2="hypotenuse"^2perpendicular2+base2=hypotenuse2 Here,
"perpendicular"=bperpendicular=b "base"=?(x)base=?(x) "hypotenuse"=2bhypotenuse=2b Hence,
b^2+x^2=(2b)^2b2+x2=(2b)2
=>b^2+x^2=4b^2⇒b2+x2=4b2
=>x^2=3b^2⇒x2=3b2
=>x=sqrt3 cdot b⇒x=√3⋅b The length of base is
color(red)(sqrt3 cdot b√3⋅b unit.Hope it helps...
Thank you...
