Answer:

the side lengths will be √2 - √2 - 2

Explanation:

When you have missing side lengths of a right triangle, you can use special triangles to find the side lengths. Where the angles are 45-45-90, each triangle has side lengths with the relationship 1 - 1 -√2.

This means for problem 1, the side length √2 is the equivalent of the special triangle 1 * √2 = √2. So each side is multiplied by √2.

So the side lengths will be √2 - √2 - 2.

These are found using:

1*√2 = √2

1*√2 = √2

√2*√2 = √4 = 2
