You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the exact length of the unknown sides of the following 45-45-90 triangle.
The hypotenuse measures 8 ft
----
Note: If the sides are x long, the hypotenuse = sqrt(x^2+x^2) = sqrt(2)*x
------------------
Equation:
sqrt(2)*x = 8
----
x = 8/sqrt(2) = (8sqrt(2))/2 = 4sqrt(2) (length of each side)
