Question

Given the value of the hypotenuse c for a 45°-45°-90° triangle, write the

equations to represent sides a and b in terms of c.

Answer 1

a= c/√2

b= c/√2

Since side a and b are equivalent to each other and c is the length of side a or b × √2. Dividing c by √2 gives the value of a and b.

a×√2= c

b×√2= c
