The length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle is 20 inches. find the length of the hypotenuse in radical form

H = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse , we will use Pythagoras theorem, which states that

The square of the hypotenuse = the square of the adjacent + the square of the opposite.

Since , we are dealing with isosceles right triangle , this means that :

both the adjacent and the opposite are equal, using the formula to find the hypotenuse , let H represent the hypotenuse , then

= +  

= 400 + 400

= 800

Take the square root of both sides

H =

can be written as x

Therefore :

H = x

H = 20x

H = 20

dilation scale factor 2: starting with δabc, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.
