on a right triangle side A has a length of 6 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "Angle Y is 45 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the length of the hypotenuse. I know the other missing angle is 45 degrees.

\n" ); document.write( "You have a right isosceles triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Each leg is 6 inches.

\n" ); document.write( "Using Pythagoras to solve for \"h\", the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 6^2 + 6^2
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 2*6^2
\n" ); document.write( "h = 6*sqrt(2) = 8.485.. inches
