If TNH is an isosceles triangle, then NT = NH and angle 5 = angle 6 = 45 degrees. So it a 90-45-45 triangle. NT = NH = TH * sqrt(2) / 2 We need TH or some more info about the triangle to have a numerical answer. What are your answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are none

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to come up with a number answer

OpenStudy (aum):

There must be something earlier mentioned about the dimensions of the triangle. In the diagram all we see are numbers just to label the angles. There are no lengths of any side provided in the diagram. So check before the problem if there is any mention of length of any side.

OpenStudy (aum):

Maybe when they ask "What are the legs of the triangle"? they are just expecting you to identify the legs. NH and NT are the legs of the triangle TNH.
