Explanation:

2
√(2) is the hypotenuse

The other 2 sides are equal to b since this is a 45-45-90 triangle meaning that it's isosceles


2b^(2) = (
2√(2)
)^(2)


2b^(2) = (
√(8))^(2)


2b^(2) = 8


b^(2) = 4

b= 2

Hope this helps!!!

Sorry for taking so long

Answer: b = 2

Explanation:


b = (2√(2))/(√(2) )\\b = 2

Since this is a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the side opposite the 90° angle is √2× the other two angles. The other two angles are congruent since their opposite angles are both 45°.

Hope this helped! :p
