Question

The legs of the isosceles triangle each measure 14 inches. calculate the length of the hypotenuse

Answer 1

I'm guessing you are talking about an isosceles RIGHT triangle.

In such a triangle, the length of the hypotenuse equals the length of either leg times the square root of 2.

hypotenuse = 14 * square root of 2 =

14 * 1.4142135623731 = 19.79898987322330

or rounding that equals 19.80 inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:19.8inches

Explanation:

To find the length of the hypotenus of an isosceles triangle of sides 24inches each

Using pythagoras theorem

Hyp^2=0pp^2+adj^2

Hyp^2=14^2+14^2

Hyp^2=196+196

Hyp=√392

Hyp=19.8inches
