Question

I’m confused on this one

Answer 1

$6\sqrt2$

Why?

We have the isosceles right triangle. The length of legs are 6. Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$h^2=6^2+6^2\\\\h^2=36+36\\\\h^2=36\cdot2\to h=\sqrt{36\cdot2}\\\\h=\sqrt{36}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\h=6\sqrt2$

In general, the formula for calculating the hypotenuse in an isosceles right triangle is $h=a\sqrt2$

a - a leg, h - a hypotenuse
