Answer:

  • u = v = 164 units

Explanation:

We know that:

  • u = v (This is because the base angles are equal)

Let's solve this using Pythagoras theorem.

  • (164√2)² = u² + v²
  • => 164√2 x 164√2 = 2u²
  • => 164 x 164 = u²
  • => u = 164 units

Hence, the measure of u and v is 164 units.

Answer and Explanation:

Since this is an isosceles right triangle, you can use the ratio of side lengths specific to this type of triangle where both legs are the hypotenuse over root 2:

u = v = 164√2 / √2 = 164

so:

u = 164

v = 164
