Answer:
leg = 5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the hypotenuse = leg square root of 2
The leg = (hypotenuse)/2 · square root of 2.
Given the hypotenuse = 7 , find the leg
[tex]leg = \frac{hypot.}{2} (\sqrt{2} )[/tex]
[tex]leg = \frac{7}{2} (\sqrt{2} )[/tex]
[tex]leg = 4.9497[/tex]
[tex]leg = 5 cm[/tex]
