An isosceles right triangle will always have its shorter sides of the same length, and the hypotenuse will always be this length times sin(45o) or times the square root of 0.5.

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 13 centimeters long. How long are its sides?
If the hypotenuse is the square root of three, then the legs are (root 6)/2. If the hypotenuse is 12, then the legs are 6(root 2). This is because, for any given right isosceles triangle, the length of the hypotenuse x is root two times the length of the legs.
Area of the right isosceles triangle: 0.5*16*16 = 128 square units
It would be an isosceles right triangle. The two sides that aren't the hypotenuse are equal, with lengths of 16.971 (rounded) .
It is a triangle whose interior angles are 45, 45 and 90 degrees
