You can put this solution on YOUR website! the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 8.2 centimeters. find the perimeter of the triangle to nearest tenth.
---------------------------------
isosceles implies the legs are equal.
Let each leg be "x".
x^2 + x^2 = 8.2^2
2x^2 = 67.24
x^2 = 33.62
x = 5.798 cm
------------------
Perimeter = 2(5.798) + 8.2
P = 19.8 cm
