The length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 14. What is the length of each leg of the triangle?

leg = √7 units (approximately 2.65 units)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a right isoceles triangle with a hypotenuse of 14 units, the two other legs must be congruent in length. Because this is a right triangle, the pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2, can be used.

Since the two legs are congruent, side a = side b. This means that

2leg^2 = hypotenuse.

2leg^2 = 14 units

÷ 2. ÷2

leg^2 = 7 units

√ √

leg = √7 units

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
