Question 1138931

If a right triangle has equal legs, and the hypotenuse is 28 ft. how long is each leg (leave answer is radical form)

legs=
<pre>An isosceles right-triangle has legs "s" and hypotenuse, {{{s * sqrt(2)}}}
We have a hypotenuse of 28, so we get: {{{matrix(2,3, s * sqrt(2), "=", 28, s, "=", 28/sqrt(2))}}} ======> {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,10, "s,", or, each, side, "=", 28sqrt(2)/(sqrt(2))^2, "=", 28sqrt(2)/2, "=", 14sqrt(2)))}}}
