Answer:

1:1

Explanation:

Im pretty sure its 1:1 because its an isosceles triangle. think of a 45-45-90 triangle as a square cut in half diagonally--the sides of a square are all equal so the ratio of one leg to the other is 1:1

there are two legs and one hypotenuse in a right triangle--the hypotenuse is the longer side, opposite the right angle

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the angles are equal, the right triangle is isosceles which means it has 2 equal sides opposite those two 45 degree angles.

The answer is 1:1 or 1 to 1
