(a) The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs the same length is 15 cm. What is the length of a leg? (b) What general ratio (hypotenuse:leg) can be formed for isosceles right (45:45:90) triangles?
HINT:
(b) let the length of the leg be x and the hypotenuse H, then solve for H using the Pythagorean theorem
