Question 492126: A 45-45-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 7. What is the length of one of its legs? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation of the hypotenuse for a 45 45 90 degree triangle is side = s , and for the hypotenuse is s.
We are given the hypotenuse and need to find a side. We would divide the hypotenuse by to obtain a side, or leg of the triangle.
7/ = approx 4.97.
