The right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute (< 90 degree) angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees... The two sides of the triangle that are by the right angle are called the legs... and the side opposite of the right angle is called the hypotenuse.

Ms.Henderson is using triangles in her graphic design project.The triangles are isosceles.One had a base of 4 inches and legs of

If the two triangles are similar you can use a proportion to solve for the length of the legs.
$\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{x}{9}$
Now, you would cross multiply to get
4x=18
Now, you simplify that using the division property of equality.
You end up with
x=4.5
Therefore, the legs of the triangle with a base of 9 inches will each be 4.5 units long.
