The hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 22 StartRoot 2 EndRoot units.

A right triangle is shown. The length of the hypotenuse is 22 StartRoot 2 EndRoot 2 units. The lengths of the other 2 sides are congruent.

What is the length of one leg of the triangle?

Respuesta :

The length of one leg of the triangle is 1 unit

What is Pythagoras theorem?

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of other two sides.

Given the following parameters

Hypotenuse = √2

If the lengths of the other 2 sides are congruent, hence;

x² + x² = (√2)²
2x² = 2

x² = 2/2

x² = 1

x = 1

Hence the length of one leg of the triangle is 1 unit
