I understand how the pyth. thereom works, but since only the hypotenuse is given, I'm assuming thevlegs would be = in length but cant come up with what this # would be Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What value(s) of X make the triangle?
x, x, 8; right
x^2 + x^2 = 8^2
2x^2 = 64
divide both sides y 2
x^2 = 32
x =
x = ; about 5.657
