Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
What is the definition of leg of an isosceles triangle?
It is one of the two equivalent sides on the isosceles triangle.
Who is the inventor of isosceles triangle?
The isosceles triangle wasn't invented. The word isosceles is from Late Latin and from Greek isoskelēs, from iso- + skelos leg.
Why is isosceles triangle?
The word "isosceles" comes from Greek roots and means "equal leg." An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.

What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
The side of an isosceles triangle that is not a leg is called?
The base.
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and the perimeter is 39 what is the length of a leg?
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and its perimeter is 39, then it has a height of 12.87.

What is a leg in geometry?
A "leg" is the term used in geometry to describe the two sides that are equal in length in an isosceles triangle.
How long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle that has a hypotenuse of length 14.14?

How do you find a missing length in isosceles triangle?
1) The hypotenuse side will ALWAYS be the the side w/ the radical 2. 2) So if you want to find the HYPOTENUSE of an ISOSCELES triangle, you MULTIPLY one of the LEGS by the the square root of 2. 3) If you want to find the LEG of an ISOSCELES triangle, you DIVIDE the HYPOTENUSE by the square root of 2. ***** Hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle= one leg divided by square root of 2. ***** Leg of an isosceles triangle= hypotenuse divided by the square root of 2.
