Answer:

The correct answer is third option. 22 units

Explanation:

Points to remember

If a right angled triangle with angles are 45°, 45° and 90° then the sides are in the ratio 1 : 1 : √2

To find the length of one leg of the triangle

From the figure we can see a right angled triangle with hypotenuse = 22√2 units

The other two legs are equal. Therefore the right angled triangle with angles 45°, 45° and 90°

Therefore the given triangle sides are in the ratio,

1 : 1 : √2 = x : x : 22√2

Therefore x = 22 units

The correct answer is third option. 22 units
