Answer 1

In right angled triangle ,

By pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ² = Base² + perpendicular ²

Given,

Hypotenuse = 5

Base and perpendicular both are x .

Now,Putting the values

=> (5)² = x² + x²

=> 5 = √2x²

=> 5 = x√2

=> x = 5/√2

Hence,the length of leg is 5/√2.

Verification:

Hypotenuse ² = base ² + perpendicular ²

=> (5)² = ( 5/√2)² + (5/√2)²

=> 25 = 25/2 + 25/2

=> 25 = 50/2

=> 25 × 2 = 50

=> 50 = 50

verified.
