What median of an isosceles triangle is the same segment in the triangle as the leg bisector hypotenuse altitude?
It is the median which divides the side which is not one of the equal sides.
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
If an isosceles right triangle has a hypotenuse of 36 what is the measure of each leg?
12!!
How long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle that has a hypotenuse of length 14.14?
Each leg works out as 9.998489886 to comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
What is the formula for finding the third side of an isosceles triangle without knowing the angle?
The two legs that are congruent can be called x and x respectively, while the third non-congruent leg is ?2
When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?
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.
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.

What median of an isosceles triangle is the same segment in the triangle as the leg bisector hypotenuse altitude?
It is the median which divides the side which is not one of the equal sides.
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 leg of an isosceles triangle?
Either of the two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle. See attached link for a picture.
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
What is the side of a right triangle called when it is not a hypotenuse?
It is usually called a "leg".
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.
If an isosceles right triangle has a hypotenuse of 36 what is the measure of each leg?
12!!
What is the definition for leg of a triangle?
There is no formal definition: it is any side of a triangle. Often, if the triangle has a horizontal base, then it is one of the sloped sides. In a right angled triangle, it is one of sides adjacent to the right angle. In an isosceles triangle, it is one of the equal sides.
