Question 838558: If the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle is 3 what is the length of the two legs , put it in the simplest radical form, Answer by brysca(112) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! So to put everything in variables, we express the two equal sides as variable "s" and the hypotenuse as "h."
h=3 so we can deduce that by the Pythagorean Theorem. Now all you have to do is simplify.
So the length of each side is the square root of 9/2.
