If the hypotenuse of a right-angle isosceles triangle is 2, what is the length of each of the other side?
- 1/√2
- √2 - 1
- 1
-
√2
- √3
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
An Isosceles Right Triangle is a right triangle that consists of two equal length legs.
i.e opp = adj
hyp\(^2\) = adj\(^2\) + opp\(^2\)
2\(^2\) = x\(^2\) + x\(^2\)
4 = 2x\(^2\)
2 = x\(^2\)
√2 = x
