Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose legs are 1 unit in length.

Answer 1

check the picture below

and isosceles triangle, has two equal sides, thus, sides "a" and "b" for the triangle to be an isosceles, have to be equal

Answer 2

The length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose legs are 1 unit in length is; 1.414 units

• An isosceles right triangle is one whose two legs are equal and at right angles to each other.

• Now, we know that in right angled triangles, we can make use of pythagoras theorem to find the length of sides. Thus;

we have;

Lengths of 2 legs as;

x = 1

y = 1

• Thus, from pythagoras theorem;

Hypotenuse length is;

h = √(1² + 1²)

h = √2

h = 1.414 units
