Find the hypotenuse of each isosceles right triangle when the legs are of the given measure. 6 sqrt 2

Isosceles right triangles have two equal sides (a and b) that are not the hypotenuse (c). And when two sides are equal, so are their opposite angles. There are only 180° degrees in any triangles, thus the right angle = 90°, so 90 left for the two equal, means that 2x=90,
x = 45°.

There are several ways to go about solving a triangle like this. The best and easiest is simply to memorize that the hypotenuse is exactly root2 times the other sides. Or, each isosceles side is the hypotenuse (c) ÷ root2
a = b = c \div  \sqrt{2} \\ c  = a\sqrt{2}  \\ c = 6 \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2}  = 6 \times 2 = 12
Another way to do it is the longer proof of Pythagorean Theorem:
{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}... \:  \:  c =   \sqrt{({a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2})}  \\
c= \sqrt{({6 \sqrt{2}) }^{2} + ({6 \sqrt{2})}^{2}}  \\ =  \sqrt{(2 \times{(6 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} )}  =  \sqrt{2(36 \times 2)}  \\ c =  \sqrt{144}  = 12

Considering the unit circle, it is found that the sine is negative on the third and on the fourth quadrant.

<h3>What is the unit circle?</h3>

For an angle \theta the unit circle is a circle with radius 1 containing the following set of points: (\cos{\theta}, \sin{\theta}).

Hence, from the above explanation, the sine is negative when y is negativem, which is on the third and on the fourth quadrant.
