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.

An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which are equal in length
To find the missing side length of a triangle with sides 21 and 35, we can use the Pythagorean theorem if it's a right triangle. However, if the triangle is not specified as a right triangle, we cannot determine the missing side without additional information, such as the angle between the two sides or whether it is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, more context is needed to calculate the missing side length accurately.
The longest length would be the hypotenuse. You can use SOHCAHTOA to find the length.
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.

That's not enough information to solve the problem.
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
That's because it is possible to find two sides that have the same length.
No, you do not need to know the length of all the sides of one triangle to find a missing length of a similar triangle. If you know at least one pair of corresponding sides from both triangles, you can use the proportionality of the sides in similar triangles to find the missing length. The ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides remains constant, allowing you to set up a proportion to solve for the unknown length.
