square root of two.

3.5
seven times the square root of two.

7

Respuesta :

The length of one of the legs  of an isosceles right triangle and has a hypotenuse length of seven times the square root of two is 7 units.

What is an Isosceles triangle?

Isosceles triangles are triangles that has two of it sides equal to each other. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

The  isosceles triangle is also a right angle triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle.

Therefore,

hypotenuse = 7(√2)

let the length of the other legs = x

Therefore, using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

(7(√2))² = x² + x²

49 × 2 = 2x²

98 = 2x²

x² = 98 / 2

x = √49

x = 7 units
