Question

What is the length of each leg of the triangle below?

45°
90⁰
22
OA. 15
B. √22
C. 11
45°
D. 11/2
E. VIT
F. 1

Answer 1

A. 15

Explanation:

Hypotenuse = 22

Since the two angles other than the 90° are both

45° , it means that the two legs of the right triangle are of equal length.

So, (x)²+ (x)² = 22²

2x² = 22²

x² = 484/2

x² = 242

x = √242

x = 15.55

x ≈ 15
