Question

What is the length of one leg of the triangle?

Answer 1

The length of one leg is 22 units. If you search up 45 45 90 triangle you can find the rules that go with solving for these kinds of triangles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is third option.  22 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

If a right angled triangle with angles are 45°, 45° and 90° then the sides are in the ratio 1 : 1 : √2

To find the length of one leg of the triangle

From the figure we can see a right angled triangle with hypotenuse = 22√2 units

The other two legs are equal. Therefore the right angled triangle with angles 45°, 45° and 90°

Therefore the given triangle sides are in the ratio,

1 : 1 : √2 = x : x : 22√2

Therefore x = 22 units

The correct answer is third option.  22 units
