Question

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

Answer 1

Isosceleses means 2 sides have equal legnths
that means that those are the legs
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are legs and c is the hypotonuse
 
a=b
2a^2=c^2
c=32
2a^2=32^2
2a^2=1024
divide both sides by 2
a^2=512
sqrt both sides
a=16√2

the legnth of each leg is 16√2 or aprox 22.63 inches

Answer 2

It would be about 22.63 for each leg
