Answer: In an isosceles right triangle, each leg has the same length as the hypotenuse divided by the square root of 2 (since the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg).

So, the length of each leg can be found by dividing the length of the hypotenuse by √2, which gives:

length of one leg = (2√2) / √2 = 2 meters

Therefore, the length of one leg of the isosceles right triangle is 2 meters.
