for a 45-45-90 triangle the legs = x then the hyptenous = x*sqrt(2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so if you know the hypt. of a 45.45.90 then to find the lengths of the legs, divide hypt. by sqrt(2)

and that gives us radical15^2/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that gives us what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{15^{2}\div}2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[15/\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}/2\]

so theres no work for it? if there is can u show me the steps please im sorry but math is so hard for me to understand
