Question 549212: in a45 degree - 45 degree - 90 degree triangle, the ration of the length of the hypotenuse to the lengh of a side is? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In this kind of right triangle, the two legs are the same length, let's call it x and the hypotenuse is c.
From the Pythagorean theorem, we get: but a = b = x, so... and...
The ratio of the hypotenuse (c) to one leg is just: but so we get...
