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.

How do you find the side of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which are equal in length
What is the length of the longest side in an isosceles right triangle?
The longest length would be the hypotenuse. You can use SOHCAHTOA to find the length.
How do you find the area of an isosceles triangle with a base of length 7 cm and congruent sides of length 6 cm?
7X6/2
How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle when given only the three side lengths?
Make it a right triangle where one side of the right triangle is half the length of the non-identical side of the isosceles, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the length of one of the identical sides of the isosceles triangle, then use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. Where "a" is the length of one of the identical sides, and "c" is the length of half the non-identical sides. Solve for "b" and that is your height.
How do you verify that a triangle is isosceles?
The step to verify an isosceles triangle is: 1) Find the intersection points of the lines. 2) Find the distance for each intersection points. 3) If 2 of the distance are the same then it is an isosceles triangle.
