This is a right angled triangle, with two sides same, therefore the angles a and b must be same, at the same time, you have to use the hypotenuse rule to find out the side c... Remember that the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180. All the best :) Hyp rule = (A^2) + (B^2) = C^2

Thank you! but im still a little confused, i dont get (A^2) + (B^2) = C^2 how to set that up please help me!

The rule is very simple, the letters simply denote 3 variables, a is the base, b is the perpendicular, while c is the hypotenuse. C is always the longest side in a right angled triangle and is opposite to the right angle.
