Question

In this triangle, AB=6. Find the length of one of the legs.

Answer 1

3* square root of 2

Explanation:

AC=BC (Given)

AB=6 (Given)

AC^2+BC^2=AB^2 (pythagorean theorem)

2AC^2=36 (Given and substitution)

AC^2=36/2

AC^2=18

So, AC is the square root of 18, which simplifies to 3* square root of 2
