Answer:

2

Explanation:

45°-45°-90° triangles are Special Right Triangles. There are some super helpful shortcuts you can learn for a 45°-45°-90° triangle.

The two legs of the triangle are always the same. The longest side, the hypotenuse, is:

hypot = leg•sqrt2

The leg in your problem is sqrt2.

You are asked to find the hypotenuse, k.

hypot = leg•sqrt2

k = leg•sqrt2

k = sqrt2•sqrt2

k = 2

k is 2. Don't be sidetracked by the direction that says "Write your answer in simplest radical form". If there was a radical in your answer, we would simplify it, but there isn't...it's just plain 2.
