The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 5 centimeters long. how long are its sides

The sides are approx 3.54 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that an isosceles triangle has 2 sides equal.

Given is that the hypotenuse is 5 cm, lets say the remaining two sides are same and they are x

So, as per Pythagoras formula, we get;

=>

Dividing both sides by 2:

=>

x = 3.54 approx

Hence, the sides are approx 3.54 cm.

yes. we do proportions in probabilities.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
