This is a 45-45-90 right triangle with a Pythagorean triple of (x, x, x√2). Because this is a 45-45-90, both legs have the same measure, namely 8. Therefore, according to the Pythagorean triple, x = 8 (NOT the x in your diagram...the x in the Pythagorean triple). That means that the hypotenuse has a measure of 8\sqrt{2}8
