Question 1029382
.
An isosceles right triangle has leg lengths of 4 centimeters. What is the length of the altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
In this triangle, the length of the altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse is half of the length of the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is {{{4*sqrt(2)}}} centimeters long. 

Hence, the length of the altitude is {{{2*sqrt(2)}}} cm.
