Question

Given a 45-45-90 triangle with a hypotenuse of 3 cm solve for the other sides.

Answer 1

Ok:

Explanation:

For a 45-45-90 triangle, the ratio between the sides are 1 – 1 –
`√(2)`. This can be proven by the pythagorean theorem. Therefore, if we let one of the sides by x, it means that x*
`√(2\\)` = 3 or x =
`(3)/(√(2) )`.
