Introduction
In geometry, a 45°-45°-90° triangle is a special right-angled triangle with two equal angles, each measuring 45°, and one right angle, measuring 90°. This type of triangle has unique properties that make it an essential concept in mathematics. In this article, we will explore the relationship between the sides of a 45°-45°-90° triangle, particularly focusing on the hypotenuse and the legs.
Properties of a 45°-45°-90° Triangle
A 45°-45°-90° triangle has several distinct properties that set it apart from other types of triangles. The most notable property is that the two legs of the triangle are equal in length. This means that if one leg measures x inches, the other leg also measures x inches. The hypotenuse, which is the side opposite the right angle, is always √2 times the length of each leg.
The Relationship Between the Hypotenuse and the Legs
Given that the hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 10√5 inches, we can use this information to find the length of one leg. Since the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg, we can set up the following equation:
hypotenuse = √2 × leg
Substituting the given value for the hypotenuse, we get:
10√5 = √2 × leg
To solve for the leg, we can divide both sides of the equation by √2:
leg = 10√5 ÷ √2
Simplifying the Expression
To simplify the expression, we can use the fact that √5 × √5 = 5. We can also use the fact that √2 × √2 = 2. Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as:

Introduction
In geometry, a 45°-45°-90° triangle is a special right-angled triangle with two equal angles, each measuring 45°, and one right angle, measuring 90°. This type of triangle has unique properties that make it an essential concept in mathematics. In this article, we will explore the relationship between the sides of a 45°-45°-90° triangle, particularly focusing on the hypotenuse and the legs.
Properties of a 45°-45°-90° Triangle
A 45°-45°-90° triangle has several distinct properties that set it apart from other types of triangles. The most notable property is that the two legs of the triangle are equal in length. This means that if one leg measures x inches, the other leg also measures x inches. The hypotenuse, which is the side opposite the right angle, is always √2 times the length of each leg.
The Relationship Between the Hypotenuse and the Legs
Given that the hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 10√5 inches, we can use this information to find the length of one leg. Since the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg, we can set up the following equation:
hypotenuse = √2 × leg
Substituting the given value for the hypotenuse, we get:
10√5 = √2 × leg
To solve for the leg, we can divide both sides of the equation by √2:
leg = 10√5 ÷ √2
Simplifying the Expression
