Find the value of x.
16 because it is an isosceles triangle and the base is half of the sides.
8/square root of 2 is the answer
read as 8 over the square root of 2 to be exact because it is a 45 45 90 degree triangle
I am confused, how do you get this?
it's a rule for special triangles like isosceles triangles
x^2 + x^2 = 8^2 2x^2 = 64 x^2 = 32 x = sqert(32) or 4 sqrt(2)
Ha G@y!
Both legs have measure of x because they are congruent as shown (marked) in the diagram. Use pytagorean Theorem, leg^2 + leg^2 = hypotenuse^2
use the 45-45-90 rule -> http://nanharbison.com/sats/math_images/45-45-90.gif notice the ratios
