What is the relationship between the length of one leg and the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangles? A) Leg = Hypotenuse ∙ √2
B) Hypotenuse = Leg ∙ √2
C) Leg ∙ Hypotenuse = √2

B) Hypotenuse = Leg ∙ √2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a well-known ratio in the 45-45-90 right triangle, but we can derive it.

An isosceles right triangle has two congruent legs forming the right angle and the hypotenuse opposite the right angle. The Pythagorean theorem works since it is a right angle.

Normally, the legs are a and b, and the hypotenuse is c, and we have

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Here the legs are congruent, so we have a = b.

Substituting a for b, we have

a^2 + a^2 = c^2

2a^2 = c^2

c^2 = 2a^2

c = a√2

B) Hypotenuse = Leg ∙ √2

in if you ask questions, the points are taken from your total and given to the one who answered it..

so if i have 30 points and i ask a question for 5 points, then when someone asks a question i will lose 5 points and the answerer earns 5
