This triangle is a special kind of isosceles triangle - it is a 45-45-90 triangle. Like other isosceles triangles, the legs of 45-45-90 triangles are congruent. However, a special property specific to 45-45-90 triangles is that their hypotenuse is equal to the product of the leg length and the square root of two.

Hyp. = leg(√2)

The hypotenuse is given for this problem, so we can plug it into the formula above to find the leg length.

26 = x(√2)
26/(√2) = x
26(√2)/(√2)(√2) = x
26(√2)/2 = x
13(√2) = x

If the amount of money you invested in the first fund is x and the second fund y, then 9% (or 0.09 by moving the decimal 2 spots)*x+0.03*y=1047 since the first fund paid 9% and the second 3%. In addition, for this year, we get
0.1*x+0.01*y=811.
We also have 0.09*x+0.03*y=1047, so we can multiply the top equation by -3 and add it to the second to get -0.21x=-1386. Dividing both sides by -0.21, we get x=6600. In addition, since 0.1*x+0.01*y=811, we can plug 6600 in for x to get 660+0.01*y=811 and by subtracting 660 from both sides we get 0.01*y=151. Multiplying both sides by 100 (since 0.01*100=1), we get y=15100
