Question

How do you find the remaining sides of a `45^circ-45^circ-90^circ` triangle if the shortest sides are each 4/5?

Answer 1

`4/5sqrt(2)`

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, the length of the longest side (the hypotenuse) is given by the Pythagorean Theorem as:
`color(white)("XXX")sqrt((4/5)^2+(4/5)^2)`

`color(white)("XXX")=4/5sqrt(2)`
