Question

What are the length of the legs of a right triangle ABC if the legs are equal and the hypotenuse is 6 units?

quare root of 2 ?

square root of 3?

square root of 5?

square root of 6?

Answer 1

i need help

Answer 2

6^2 = x^2 + x^2
36 = 2x^2
x^2 = 18
x = \[3\sqrt{2}\]
wel answer should be soemthing like this but it's not in option.. let me see again

Answer 3

can you simplify it?

Answer 4

hmm ok let me explain again...
it says 2 sides are same and hyp is 6 means base and height are equal.. so we can say the length of one side is.
length = x , height = x , hyp =6
now apply pythagoras
hyp^2= h^2 + b^2
6^2 = x^2 + x^2
36 = 2x^2
x^2 = 18
x = 3√2
