Question

If the legs of an isosceles right triangle are 5 inches long, approximate the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

isosceles means both legs have the same length, 5 in.

Pythagorean theorem:
5² + 5² = h²
25 + 25 = h²
50 = h²
√(50) = h
7.07 = h
round to whole number; h =  7
