What is the length of a hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle with legs of 5 feet each?

The word hypotenuse implies this is a right triangle. An isosceles right triangle has sides of 1, 1, and sqrt(2), or multiples of those. So the hypotenuse = 5*sqrt(2), which is approximately 7.07 feet or about 7 ft and 7/8 inch.


What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle A equals 40 feet and B equals 40 feet?

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 9 feet longer than either of its legs. what the exact length of each side?

Each leg is 21.73 feet and the Hypotenuse is 30.73 feet. (0.73 feet is a whisker over 8¾ inches)


If one leg of the isosceles right triangle is 2 feet long find the length of the hypotenuse?

Isosceles triangles have two sides which are the same length and two angles which are equal. So if your right triangle has one side of length 2 feet, which is not the hypotenuse, then the remaining side must also be 2 feet long. We know that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the squares of the other two sides. 2 squared is 4. So the squares of the two sides are 4 + 4 which equals 8. Now we just find the square root of 8, which is 2.8284... So the length of the hypotenuse is 2.83 Feet (to two decimal places). Or, In a right isosceles triangle, the two base angles equal 45°. Since the length leg is 2 ft, then the hypotenuse length would be equal to 2√2 or approximately to 2.83 ft. sin 45° = leg/hypotenuse hypotenuse = 2/sin 45° hypotenuse = 2/(√2/2) hypotenuse = 4/√2 hypotenuse = 4√2/2 hypotenuse = 2√2 °
