Answer:

c=b\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached image.

A right triangle is considered so when one of its corners are 90°.

If sides a and b are equal in length, then  the corners across from them are equal in size as well.

The only way for this to be possible is if both corners A and B(opposite of sides a and b) are 45°.

Pythagorean theorem

This theorem states that the square of a right triangle's long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the shorter sides.

In this case:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

but since:

a=b

the equation can be solved by replacing a with b in the equation:

b^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\2b^{2}=c^{2} \\\sqrt{2b^{2} } = c\\b\sqrt{2} =c
