The Hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 36 units. What is the approximate length of one of the legs?

let x = the length of the leg of an isosceles right triangle whose hypotenuse = 36 units...

then...

x² + x² = (36)² = 1296

2x² = 1296
x² = 648
x = √648 ≈ 25.4558 units

round as necessary !!

x² + x² = 36²
2 x² = 1296
x² = 648
x = 25.5______Option A
