Question 1102516: What is the full solution for this answer x=17over square root of 2?
Given this isosceles right triangle,find x.
Hypotenuse is 17
Altitude is x
Base is x
To find the length of the hypotenuse, multiply the length of a leg by square root of 2.
To find the length of a leg, divide the length of the hypotenuse by square root of 2.

--------------
17 = sqrt[x^2+x^2]
17 = sqrt(2x^2]
17 = sqrt(2)*sqrt(x^2)
17 = sqrt(2)*x
----
x = 17/sqrt(2)
