Find the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle whose hypotenuse measures 8 radical 2?

the answer is 8


What is the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle that has a leg length of 10cm?

For isosceles triangle both legs are the same, 10 cm. The hypotenuse is square root of sum of legs squared, = sqrt (10 squared + 10 squared) = 14.1 cm


What is the leg length of an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse of 32 inches?

Each leg length is 16 times square root of 2 or about 22,627 inches to 3 decimal places


The ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse?

Starting with an equilateral triangle of side 2, dropping a perpendicular from one vertex to the opposite base creates two equal right angled triangles with hypotenuse of length 2, base length 1 and height of length √(22 - 12) = √3 which is the longer leg of the 30-60-90 triangle. Thus the ratio of longer_leg : hypotenuse is √3 : 2


Leg XY of a right triangle is twice as long as leg YZ If the area of the triangle is 36cm squared what ist he length in cm of leg XY?

Let's denote the length of leg YZ as x. Since leg XY is twice as long as leg YZ, its length would be 2x. The formula for the area of a right triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height. In this case, the base is YZ (x) and the height is XY (2x). Given that the area is 36 cm², we can set up the equation 1/2 * x * 2x = 36. Solving for x, we get x = 6. Therefore, the length of leg XY (2x) is 2 * 6 = 12 cm.

What is the definition of leg of an isosceles triangle?

It is one of the two equivalent sides on the isosceles triangle.


What do you have to do to the area of a right angled triangle?

The area of a triangle is one half base times height. In the case of a right triangle, the base is one leg and the height is the other leg. (The two legs being separated by the right angle.)


Why is isosceles triangle?

The word "isosceles" comes from Greek roots and means "equal leg." An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.


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.


What is the leg of an isosceles triangle?

Either of the two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle. See attached link for a picture.

If Each leg of an isosceles triangle is 9 inches longer than one half the length of the base. If the perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 146 inches what is the length of one leg of the isosceles t?

Let the base length be x:- If: 2(0.5x+9)+x = 146 => x+18+x = 146 => 2x = 146-18 => x = 64 Therefore the isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides of 41 inches and a base of 64 inches Check: 41+41+64 = 146 inches
