Answer:

x = 2√2 ≈ 2.83

Explanation:

The side length of an isosceles right triangle is 1/√2 times the hypotenuse length. If x is the side length, then ...

x = 4/√2 = 4(√2)/2

x = 2√2 ≈ 2.83

You have not specified the form of the answer. Sometimes an exact answer (2√2) is required. Sometimes the answer is required to be rounded to tenths or hundredths.
