Find the leg of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse is of the given measure.

Question

anonymous · Answer

The Given = $$6\sqrt{2}$$

ivettef365 · Answer

the formula is the legs are x and the hyp = xsqrt2

ivettef365 · Answer

so x in this case = 6

anonymous · Answer

Can you help me with a few more?

ivettef365 · Answer

sure

anonymous · Answer

Find the hypotenuse of each isosceles right triangle when the legs are of the given measure.

Given = $$3\sqrt{2}$$

ivettef365 · Answer

same as the previous, if you have the hyp as 3sqrt2 what is the legs

anonymous · Answer

6?

ivettef365 · Answer

look at the formula I gave you

legs = x
hyp =  xsqrt2

ivettef365 · Answer

what is the value of x on the hyp of this problem ??

anonymous · Answer

I honestly do not know v___v Geometry is not my subject

anonymous · Answer

Like could you work it out and like explain step by step?

ivettef365 · Answer

I am giving you the answer look at it 

formula   legs = x
               
               hyp = xsqrt2
               hyp = 3sqrt2  (that is what you have as hyp) so now what is the value of x

anonymous · Answer

But like it says what is the hypotenuse? would I still be looking for the legs?

ivettef365 · Answer

oh ok, now use same formula multiply 3sqrt2 x sqrt2

anonymous · Answer

Do I need a calculator for that?

anonymous · Answer

Because if so I don't have one..

ivettef365 · Answer

that = 6, you had the right answer all alone :)

ivettef365 · Answer

do you have multiple choices ?

anonymous · Answer

No its fill in the blank :/

anonymous · Answer

and I have 3 more problems like that if you could help...

ivettef365 · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

Find the side of a square whose diagonal is of the given measure.

Given =$$15\sqrt{2}$$cm.

ivettef365 · Answer

that is like an isosceles triangle, whose hyp = 15sqrt2, so what is the legs

anonymous · Answer

So I multiply 15 by the sqrt of 2 right?

ivettef365 · Answer

15 is the side already

ivettef365 · Answer

if they ask you for the are then you multiply

anonymous · Answer

for the are?

ivettef365 · Answer

??

anonymous · Answer

I dont know that what you put...

ivettef365 · Answer

the diagonal of a square divides the square in 2 triangles, so the diagonal is the hyp of the triangles, you are asked to find the side, so you have

 hyp = 15sqrt2
 legs = 15    (which are the sides of the square)

I which I could draw so I can show you
