#2sqrt2# inches

Explanation:

This is a special right triangle with the angle measures 45, 45, and 90. The two legs are the same length (2 inches, the triangle is isosceles).

In 45-45-90 special right triangles, the hypotenuse is the leg multiplied by #sqrt2#. The ratio of the three sides is #1:1:sqrt2#.
