45-45-90 Triangles

Front

What is a 45-45-90 triangle?

Back

A 45-45-90 triangle is an isosceles right triangle where the angles are 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in a 45-45-90 triangle?

Back

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are equal, and the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg.

Front

If the length of a leg is 'a', what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

The length of the hypotenuse is a√2.

Front

What is the value of the legs if the hypotenuse is 8√2?

Back

The length of each leg is 8.

Front

If one leg of a 45-45-90 triangle is 5, what is the length of the other leg?

Back

The length of the other leg is also 5.

Front

What is the formula to find the length of a leg if the hypotenuse is known?

Back

Leg length = Hypotenuse / √2.

Front

If the legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

The length of the hypotenuse is 4√2.

Front

What is the area of a 45-45-90 triangle with legs of length 6?

Back

Area = (1/2) * leg * leg = (1/2) * 6 * 6 = 18.

Front

How do you derive the lengths of the legs from the hypotenuse in a 45-45-90 triangle?

Back

Divide the hypotenuse by √2.

Front

What is the perimeter of a 45-45-90 triangle with legs of length 10?

Back

Perimeter = leg + leg + hypotenuse = 10 + 10 + 10√2.
