Answer:
5√2 units ≈ 7.07 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of leg to hypotenuse in an isosceles right triangle is ...
leg/hypotenuse = 1/√2
Multiplying by the length of the hypotenuse, we have ...
leg = hypotenuse/√2 = 10/√2
leg = 5√2 . . . . rationalize the denominator
The length of one leg is 5√2 units, about 7.07107 units.
