Answer:
The leg is 8 cm long
Step-by-step explanation:
An isosceles right triangle has the length of its hypotenuse and opposite equal
Let us call the length x
From Pythagoras’ , the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus, we have ;
x^2 + x^2 = (8 √2)^2
2x^2 = 128
x^2 = 128/2
x^2 = 64
x= √64
x = 8 cm
(-8)^2
(-8)(-8)
64
