Question

Approximately how long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle that has a hypotenuse of length 14.14 cm?

Answer 1

I found `~~10cm`

Explanation:

You can use Pithagoras Theorem where two sides are equal and you can call them `x` so you get:
`14.14^2=x^2+x^2`
`199.94=2x^2`
so:
`x=sqrt(199.94/2)~~10cm`
