Question

One leg of an isosceles right triangle measures 5 inches. Rounded to the nearest tenth, what is the approximate length of

Answer 1

The length of the hypotenuse = 7.1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles right angle triangle if one leg is 5 inch, another side along the right angle is 5 in

hypotenuse = $\sqrt{side^{2} +base^{2} }$ ( by Pythagoras theorem)

= $\sqrt{5^{2}+5^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{50}$

= 7.07106781

= 7.1 inch (approx)
