Answer:

The length of the leg is 11 units.

Explanation:

The triangle 45 - 45 - 90 theorem states that the length of the hypotenuse is
√(2) times of the length of any of the legs. Hence, we get the following expression:


h = √(2) \cdot l (1)

Where:


l - Length of the leg, in units.


h - Hypotenuse, in units.

If we know that
h = 11√(2), then the length of the leg is:


l = (h)/(√(2))


l = 11

The length of the leg is 11 units.
