Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the leg of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse is of the given measure.
Verdich [7]
We have given 
hypotenuse=<span>6√2
let us suppose leg =a
using Pythagorean theorem
a^2+a^2=(</span><span>6√2)^2
</span>2a^2=36*2
diving by 2 on both sides
a^2=36
taking square root on both sides
√a^2 =<span>√36
a=6
therefore
</span><span>the leg of each isosceles right triangle is 6</span>
