Question

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 7 feet longer than either of its legs. Find the exact length of each side.

Answer 1

r u still there?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

\[\sqrt{a^2+a^2}=\sqrt{2a^2}=\sqrt{2}a\]
a is length of one of the leg

Answer 4

how do i do it?

Answer 5

hypotenuse=\[\sqrt{2}a\]
hypotenuse=7+a

Answer 6

7+a=sqrt{2}a

Answer 7

Can you draw out the whole equation?

Answer 8

Draw the triangle. Label the hypotenuse as a+7, and the side as a. Then use the pythagorean theorem (since its a right triangle), to relate the two as abdul did.

Answer 9

Can you draw it?
