how to get 14 as the hypotenuese in a right 45-45-90?
lengths of other two sides are equal.If lengths are x and x again,then x^2 plus x^2 -14
so 2 x^2=14
x^2 =7
x =sqrt 7
Two sides are the same as the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
By Pythagoras' theorem,
\(x^2+x^2=14^2\)
\(2x^2=196\)
\(x^2=98\)
\(x=\sqrt{98}=7\sqrt{2}\)
When the length of the other two sides is \(7\sqrt{2}\)
The length of the hypotenuse is 14
